Sourced by Chris and Anna Weylandt from antique yards across India, the Lakshmi Indian Coffee Table exists as a singular piece. A once-off, unrepeatable piece that has been shaped by a history that cannot be replicated, its form carries the imprint of its previous life, where function and craftsmanship were once deeply intertwined.
Crafted from aged wood, the surface reveals a rich patina built over time, marked by tonal variation, natural wear, and the irregularities of hand-worked material. This is contrasted by subtle metal detailing, where aged hardware introduces a secondary texture – cool, worn, and ornamental.
The interplay between wood and metal creates a layered material narrative, balancing warmth with density, softness with structure. Low and grounded in its proportions, the piece holds space with authority.
