AERAS STRATA F094 COFFEE TABLE BY RAPHAEL CRESPIN

The Aeras Strata collection unfolds as a meditation on time’s silent architecture. Inspired by the slow, sculpting forces of wind, water, and erosion, Crespin translates the language of carved landscapes into a series of tables that feel both geological and deeply human. The title, Strata, refers not only to the layers of stone that compose the earth but also to the accumulation of memory, the way every surface, over time, retains the trace of movement and change

Each work in the collection is composed of stacked marble elements, their contours gently shifting from one to the next. This progression evokes the evolution of terrain — valleys deepening, ridges softening — to capture continuous transformation in stillness. From table to table, the forms subtly morph, creating a sequence that reads like a sculptural topography in motion

Carved from Alabastrino marble, the works bear the luminous warmth of sedimentary stone. Their striated edges, smoothed by hand, recall the patient labor of erosion, while their polished planes invite reflection, evoking the dance of sunlight over canyon walls. In this dialogue between precision and impermanence, material discipline meets the unpredictability of nature

Handcrafted in France in limited edition by Atelier Saint-Jacquess, Aeras Strata embodies Crespin’s ongoing exploration of how invisible forces leave visible marks. Each work stands as both artifact and landscape, a monument to transformation, not through drama or rupture, but through the quiet persistence of time itself
