Coffee tables set

Edition: Unique piece.
The Balance of Light
At the crossroads of stellar movement and the metamorphosis of matter, Equinox stands as a landscape of metal. This ensemble of coffee tables captures the fleeting moment where solar heat and lunar shadow find a point of perfect equilibrium. Through a complex marquetry of Brass and Maillechort, Emmanuel Jonckers traces a shimmering topography, inviting the observer to lose themselves in the furrows of a precious and functional geography.
The Materials: Equinox is a masterful exploration of copper alloys, where the solar warmth of Brass meets the lunar brilliance of Maillechort. The three tables are composed of a complex metal marquetry, supported by massive bases that anchor these shimmering, hand-etched surfaces into the ground.
The Symbolism: The piece is a metaphor for the astronomical equinox—the precise moment of perfect symmetry between day and night. The interlaced golden and silver tones symbolize the eternal dialogue between opposites, creating a cartography where shadow and light find their unity.
The Heritage: Through a meticulous process of etching and inlaying, Emmanuel Jonckers reinterprets the traditional arts of metalwork. This creation pays tribute to the “Metamorphic Metal” technique, transforming heavy, industrial alloys into a delicate skin of precious jewelry through the ancestral memory of the hand.
The Vision: The intention behind Equinox is to introduce a moving landscape into the interior. Its modular nature invites the collector to rearrange the pieces, allowing the light to play across the engraved furrows and offering a functional experience that evolves with the rhythm of the day.
Table is composed of three individual parts that can be placed and moved as desired.
