Inspired by Byzantine Legacy: The Maniace and Calafato Coffee Tables

The Maniace and Calafato coffee tables draw their inspiration from the profound historical connection between General Giorgio Maniace and the soldier known as “Calafato”—two iconic figures from Sicily’s Byzantine era. Their contrasting yet complementary personalities are reflected in the design—one commanding and bold, the other slender and refined—symbolizing a dynamic harmony of opposites. These distinctive pieces pay tribute to their legendary bond, blending minimalist form with luxurious detail.

Crafted with precision, the tables feature exquisite decorative marble and gemstone inlays, framed in a gold-toned metallic structure reminiscent of Byzantine artistic traditions. The result is a striking balance of elegance and strength, making them both functional and collectible.
