2025

Located within a private residence in Ibiza, the Artefact Table serves as a functional centerpiece designed for the client's specific needs. This substantial piece—measuring 300 x 120 cm—demonstrates how sustainable materials can meet demanding practical requirements while supporting gatherings of up to ten people.The distinctive two-leg structure provides generous legroom while creating a light, hovering appearance that allows this colossal piece to blend seamlessly into its surroundings. Inspired by Ibiza's traditional white limestone architecture, the table echoes the island's architectural heritage through a contemporary lens, embracing slight imperfections that recall familiar forms found in nature.

Material
The table is constructed primarily from hempcrete, using hemp fibers and natural cement sourced from France. An integrated wooden framework ensures structural integrity, while limestone provides the basic surface texture. Natural jute mesh serves as an intermediate layer, acting as a bonding bridge between materials with different expansion properties. The finish is achieved through Mortex, a mineral-based coating that provides exceptional stain resistance and protection against scratches while maintaining the organic aesthetic fundamental to the design.
