Materials: bronze, marble, and resin. This unique coffee table by artist and designer alex turco is conceived as a sculptural homage to nature. Inspired by the quiet beauty of a still lake, the piece captures the sensation of depth, luminosity, and shifting reflections across the tabletop is crafted from a split slab of hand-polished italian marble fused with resin, creating a fluid, organic surface that appears almost liquid. Three solid bronze legs support the structure, each finished with a burnished metal effect that adds warmth, texture, and a refined patina. Alex turco is known for blending natural materials such as stone with contemporary mediums like resin, producing works that balance organic expression with modern design. His artistic practice draws from mediterranean landscapes and a deep interest in material experimentation. Many of his collectible objects are produced as single editions, emphasizing rarity, craftsmanship, and individuality. Part functional furniture and part sculptural artwork, this coffee table reflects turco’s distinctive vision. Alex turco is an italian artist–designer living and working between italy and the united states. His practice is articulated through two complementary yet distinct bodies of work: collectible design and artworks. Across both, turco investigates the relationship among nature, material, and form through a minimalist, highly controlled visual language. Born into a family of artists and photographers, turco was immersed in an environment from an early age where visual culture, craftsmanship, and conceptual thinking were inseparable. This background shaped a practice in which art and design coexist as parallel disciplines, each informing the other while maintaining their own autonomy. His collectible design practice officially debuted at art basel paris in 2025, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of his work. Rooted in italy’s industrial and artisanal heritage, these pieces are developed through a rigorous exploration of materials such as marble, travertine, crystals, resin, and metal. Geometric precision is combined with an attention to surface, weight, and balance, resulting in functional objects that retain a strong sculptural presence. Nature plays a central role in this body of work, not as a direct representation but as structure and logic. Flowing lines, subtle variations, and controlled irregularities emerge from the materials' physical properties, allowing fluidity and movement to become integral to the form. Turco’s collectible design pieces are conceived as enduring objects, functional yet contemplative, capable of inhabiting space with quiet strength and visual clarity. Alongside collectible design, turco develops artworks that further explore these themes with greater formal freedom. Across both practices, the boundary between art and design remains intentionally fluid, reflecting a vision centered on creating timeless objects that engage with their environment through material integrity, proportion, and restraint. Alex turco’s work offers a contemporary interpretation of italian design culture, where functionality, aesthetic rigor, and a deep connection to nature converge. His practice is driven by the pursuit of essential forms and lasting value, grounded in minimalism, material research, and the cultural significance of made in italy. See less
