Alessi — Cohncave SC01/49 | Blue and ivory openwork centerpiece

There is something hypnotic about Cohncave's geometry: a large perforated disc that seems to suspend the void between the solid areas, where deep blue and ivory chase each other in a rigorous yet sensual chromatic interplay. The centerpiece in steel colored with epoxy resin does not merely occupy the table - it defines it, transforming it into a narrative surface. The generous 49-centimeter diameter and the visual lightness of the perforation create a fascinating paradox: an imposing presence with an almost negligible perceived weight. Cohncave was created by Susan Cohn, an Australian designer known as one of the most original voices in the international world of object design. Cohn is known for an approach that explores the boundary between ornament and function, between jewelry and household object, between body and space. Her work with Alessi belongs to that fertile tradition in which the Crusinallo factory has given form to eccentric and courageous design visions, bringing together designers from cultures far removed from the Italian tradition yet able to engage with it in surprising ways. Cohncave is part of the historic 100 Values Collection, Alessi's editorial project that brought a century of design thinking together in objects made to last. At Stilmobili, we chose Cohncave for those who see furnishings as a cultural act, not a decorative one. It is the right object for a table that wants to tell a story, for a living space where the centerpiece does not hold fruit but conveys meaning. Ideal as a collector's piece or as a meaningful gift for those who know and appreciate design as a language.
