A Well
NR. 008
This coffee table is a synthesis of brutalism, street art and design! It is a unique combination of art and functionality, where the main accent is a salvaged concrete well ring. Originally defective and doomed to be forgotten, it is now reborn as a contemporary design object, embodying the ideas of reuse and rebirth.
The ring is not only a visual center, but also an essential structural part. A system of three metal legs pierces the concrete, thus creating a solid support for both the ring itself and the glass surface above. This detail is thought out not only from an engineering but also aesthetic point of view – the metal lines contrast with the brutal, uneven texture of the concrete, and the glass gives a feeling of lightness, as if floating in the air.
Decorated with original graffiti signs, this ring also becomes a manifestation of urban culture. The tags and drawings used have their own language – it is the voice of the city, transferred to the interior. A yellow, angular character with an expressed emotion, holding an ice cream cone. This figure symbolizes the struggle between the banality of everyday life and the rebellion of creativity – even an ice cream cone becomes a weapon here. A stylized bird, stepping forward. Its simplicity and courage represent freedom, movement and independence – the main values of street art. A bright, orange bubble-shaped character with a face and a cap. It exudes playfulness, but at the same time conveys a strong emotional charge. It is like the personification of the spirit of the city – smiling, but also ready to fight for its place. Three bees, perched on a concrete ring, between the city sign and the layer of street art, are a subtle but very meaningful element. These bees are like a bridge between the man-made world and nature, between the industrial legacy and the life that we can still preserve. The bees in this composition are not just random drawings. They are a reflection of security, connection and sustainability. Bees also symbolize the importance of community and interaction: just as they work together, so too can we work together to protect the world we live in.
It is not only an aesthetic detail, but also a profound ecological statement, inviting us to reflect on sustainability, nature conservation and the preservation of life – topics that are more important today than ever. Each graffiti, each line of concrete striations tells a story about the time, the street culture and the attitude of the creator. It is like a capsule of concrete and glass – brutal but warm, rebellious but harmonious.
