Sculptural coffee table created by transforming a traditional wooden boat into a functional interior object. The elongated wooden hull is carefully preserved and elevated on a custom-made wooden support, while a transparent glass top allows for complete visibility of the construction and craftsmanship of the boat's interior. This piece represents an intervention of contemporary design, recontextualising an authentic maritime form within an interior setting. Its clean presentation, emphasis on the authenticity of materials, and sculptural character draw inspiration from the approaches of Scandinavian and Italian design of the 1970s, where functional objects were often treated with a sensitivity to form, craftsmanship, and natural materials. The table is presented in very good condition, showing visible signs of previous use consistent with the boat's original function. The wooden surfaces exhibit an authentic patina, including minor superficial wear and small imperfections that contribute to the character and narrative of the object. The glass top and support structure are in excellent functional condition. Combining raw authenticity with refined minimalist additions, the table serves both as a practical surface and as a sculptural centrepiece. Its strong visual identity and material presence make it suitable for residential interiors, galleries, showrooms, or conceptual commercial spaces.
