Katerina Bulgakova’s Seahorse Coffee Table Captures the Ocean's Rhythm

2 hours ago7 min read

Designer Katerina Bulgakova channels the raw energy of the sea into her Seahorse Coffee Table, transforming a functional object into a dynamic sculpture. The piece is a masterclass in the ancient art of sunburst marquetry, where countless individual strands of rye straw are meticulously selected and inlaid by hand.This labor-intensive process creates a radiating, kinetic pattern that evokes the relentless motion and foam of crashing waves. The table's true magic, however, lies in its deep, resonant finish.This is not a static surface; it interacts dynamically with its environment. As daylight shifts or interior lighting changes, the table's luster responds, catching light and casting shadows to reveal new depths and textures.More than just a surface for placing objects, the table becomes the centerpiece of a room—a commanding work of art that celebrates the power of artisanal skill in a world of mass production. It stands as a bold statement piece, defining the space around it and setting the stage for a life of curated elegance.
