The Gemini Console is born from a dialogue between opposites—the molten and the still, the ancient and the refined. Two monumental pillars of cast bronze rise with architectural authority, their surfaces bearing the marks of making: a tactile landscape of craters, ridges, and traces that recall both geological formation and the memory of fire. Nothing is smoothed away. The process itself becomes the texture, and the texture becomes the work

Resting upon these pillars, a slab of white Thassos marble floats with quiet luminosity, its veining a language of its own—cool, precise, and shaped by forces far older than the hand. The meeting point between stone and bronze is held by a sharp gilded edge, a deliberate threshold that defines where one material ends and the other begins. It is a joint as much compositional as structural, a line that holds two worlds in careful tension

Handcrafted in Italy, the Gemini Console takes its name from the duality at its core: two forms, two materials, two temperaments united into a single object. A small triangular bronze emblem rests atop the surface, an understated signature of authorship on a piece that speaks in the register of permanence

Jean-Yves Lanvin

Born Paris, France, 1965

A French artist based in Milan, Lanvin creates limited-edition sculptural furniture with rare and exquisite minerals, jewelry-like finishes, and striking profiles. His visionary works sit at the intersection between art and design, characterized by a sculptural approach emphasizing asymmetrical and strong lines. His creations celebrate the rich history of European craftsmanship and contemporary innovation with fine metals, noble stones, and rare minerals

Sculptural yet functional, elegant yet robust, experimental yet rooted in history, his works explore the design tension between balance and imbalance, both in the construction and appearance of the work. He is drawn to the sense of anticipation engendered by irregularity, and the challenge of creating a work that is both elegant and wild, rough and sleek

Heir to the Lanvin family, he spent his childhood in a rarified world of with elegance, creativity and artistry. After working in finance for Lazard Frères in New York and Salomon Brothers in London, he embraced his passion for art and design, representing fine French design houses, through which he gained a deep knowledge of foundries, the casting process, and fine metalwork. Lanvin works closely with heritage artisans at his atelier in Tuscany to produce each of his unique works
