BERAN CARRARA
Carved from Carrara marble, the Beran table draws its form from the Awassi ram, a resilient fat-tailed sheep native to the Zagros mountains. Its silhouette translates the animal’s distinctive leg into a poised structural support: strong yet refined, grounded yet visually light. The clear, balanced volumes highlight the tactile presence of stone, while the design embodies adaptability and endurance, qualities shared between the Awassi and the material itself.

Fat-tailed sheep on a stone bowl from the Uruk III period of Ur (c. 3000 BC).
Across the ancient Near East, images of sheep and rams appear carved in stone and pressed into clay. From the reliefs of the Uruk period to the rounded animal figures of the Indus Valley, these forms embody strength, calm, and endurance. Though often fragmentary, a missing leg, a worn base, a head turned upward in quiet alertness, they carry a remarkable continuity of line and volume. Seen together, these artifacts trace a visual lineage: simple flowing contours, compact muscular bodies, and an abiding sense of resilience. The Beran table draws on this legacy, transforming archaeological memory into a contemporary sculptural form.

The horns, ears, tail, and muscles were modeled in relief, although time and secondary use have flattened the contours on the right side.

Many of our works are limited editions or one-of- a-kind pieces, created for collectors, museums, and interior architects seeking singular, enduring forms.
Because we work extensively with natural materials, each piece carries its own variation in tone, texture, and finish. These nuances are not flaws but qualities that give each object its unique presence. Over time, materials may shift or age, a process we embrace and can help you navigate.
