About the Item

Playing Koi is a one-of-a-kind sculptural coffee table handcrafted in the KalaRara Roma atelier in Rome. Conceived as a meditation on water, light and movement, the piece merges painting, glasswork and architectural structure into a functional artwork. At the centre of the composition lies an aluminium panel finished in luminous silver leaf, upon which two koi fish are meticulously hand-painted. Surrounding the figures, layers of clear Murano glass rods, multicoloured ground Murano glass crystals, glass fragments and sea glass form a dynamic aquatic landscape, suggesting the movement of water and shifting reflections of light beneath its surface. The surface is created using MicroCristallo Fusione™, a layered glass process developed within the KalaRara Roma studio. The carefully arranged glass elements are encapsulated within ultra-clear resin, creating depth, luminosity and the illusion of suspended motion within the composition. The finished panel is housed within a handcrafted plexiglass case and protected by an inset scratch-resistant tempered-glass top. The structure rests upon a transparent plexiglass cube secured with precision plexiglass dowels, reinforcing the visual lightness of the form and allowing the internal composition to appear as if floating within the table. Entirely handmade in Rome, Playing Koi exists simultaneously as a collectible sculptural object and a functional coffee table. The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity confirming its one-of-a-kind status and studio production. Materials: Silver leaf-finished aluminium panel Hand-painted koi composition Clear Murano glass rods Ground Murano glass crystals Murano glass fragments and sea glass Ultra-clear resin Handcrafted plexiglass case and base Scratch-resistant inset tempered-glass top Handmade in Rome, Italy by KalaRara Roma.
