CANOVA TABLE
Between Art and Design
Canova table is the first piece in a series that explores the intersection of data, memory, and materiality. Developed through 3D scanning and binary encoding, the table translates historical forms into contemporary design objects, giving physical presence to digital processes. This approach stems from a core principle of data-driven design: to begin with the existing—measurable, mappable, and rooted in reality.
A conceptual object, a perforated table, the nightmare of the hand-drawing designer, the perfect table for the digital one.
In a fragmented and fast-paced digital world, Canova table reinterprets the past as a means of preservation and meaning-making. By embracing the aesthetics of technology, it challenges traditional boundaries between craft and code, artifact and algorithm. The result is a work where design becomes a tool for reflection—on time, transformation, and the future of form.
