Yumuri Cocktail Table

The Yumuri Cocktail Table, from Baker Furniture's Orlando Diaz-Azcuy collection, carries the quiet authority of a sculptural object as much as a functional one — its matte plaster finish lending the base a raw, monolithic presence that reads equally at home in a curated modernist interior or against the layered patina of a classical room. Above it, a three-quarter-inch clear Starphire glass top hovers with uncommon clarity, its low iron content rendering the surface almost optically pure, so that whatever lies beneath — a considered rug, a beautifully grained floor — becomes part of the composition. The interplay between the chalky, earthbound weight of the plaster and the weightless transparency of the glass is precisely the kind of considered tension that elevates a table from furnishing to focal point.
