LIBRAM is a collection of tables composed of two interlocking conical elements that, through two types of bases and three types of tops, generates nine variations.
The joint between base and top has been designed as a unified system across all configurations, allowing for interchangeability of components while ensuring a precise and safe assembly process, relying exclusively on the geometry of the stone components, without the use of any mechanical fasteners.
The proportions of each element are the result of a mathematical calculation that balances several design conditions: functionality, manual handling of weight during installation, and stability under load.
All these requirements relate to a fundamental characteristic of stone – the weight – which becomes both a tool and a constraint, essential for the project.
Beyond the pursuit of an aesthetic expression of natural stone, the idea of integrating inevitable inherent and variable conditions into the design suggests an alternative approach to material valorization, developed in the shared path between Vaselli and Kensaku Oshiro.
Balance, the core concept of the project, inspired the name of the collection itself: Libram, from the Latin word for “scale”.
