Omphalos Coffee Table

In the Greek, Omphalo means navel which, for ancient cultures, symbolized the center of the creation of the universe. The navel is traditionally represented by a stone, which would make the connection between heaven and earth.

On this coffee table, a thin and delicate metal plate is supported on the stone, contrasting the strength of the primitive element with the structural lightness of the material.
