'CENTRO' Coffee Table in Volcanic Stone

Coffee table crafted from hand-carved volcanic stone sourced from the Chimborazo Volcano quarry.

CENTRO is an exploration of the natural characteristics of volcanic stone, brought to life through hand carving. This one-of-a-kind piece is crafted from two slabs of volcanic stone, sourced from the southern provinces of Ecuador. The table’s form evokes the equatorial line, reflecting the unique positioning of our country.

With intricate details visible in every chiseled mark, the organic form contrasts with the rugged edge of the tabletop. The finely carved and polished arch detail on the top pays homage to the colonial and baroque architecture that defines our cultural heritage.

ÍCONOS is a creative and ethnographic exploration of the DNA and ICONS that constitute the Ecuadorian identity. The collection is a family of functional and sculptural objects based on the abstraction of Andean iconography and archetypes. It is an aesthetic exercise representative of the Andean region: its soul, materials, and talent.

ANDEAN studio’s practice is an exploration that highlights Ecuador's iconography and our Latin American essence. New items will be added to our ongoing collections every year, each bearing our equatorial design stamp and a distinct aesthetic.
