Terraliquida

Design

Terraliquida is a low table by Claudio Silvestrin that keeps the gesture simple and exact. A solid limestone block reads as a single, monolithic volume. Above it, a clear pane of extralight glass sits with quiet precision, creating a sharp contrast without trying to be dramatic. And that tension is the point: weight below, lightness above, held in a clean, architectural profile.

The glass is set with a glued 45° detail that keeps the lines crisp and the top visually thin. Nothing feels added for effect. The table’s presence comes from proportion and restraint, the kind that looks calm in a busy room and still holds its own in a minimal one.

Materials & build

The stone body is limestone, cut as a parallelepiped with a deliberately rugged split-face finish on the sides. The top surface is flamed, giving it a more controlled texture and a subtle shift in tone. That change between the rougher edges and the treated top is easy to miss at first. Then it becomes the detail that makes the piece feel considered.

On top, the tempered glass is 0.59 inches thick (15 mm) and transparent extralight, so it reads clean rather than green. It rests directly on the stone element, keeping the composition clear: one grounded mass, one pure plane.

Comfort, in use

This is a coffee table that behaves the way it looks: direct and stable. The low height makes it an easy companion to deep seating, with the top within reach for books, a tray, or a drink. But it doesn’t try to be soft or casual. It’s a table with a deliberate point of view, and it asks for a little care in how it’s styled.

Placement & lifestyle

The quick-ship configuration TERL01 measures 72.8 inches long, 39.4 inches wide, and 9.1 inches high. The footprint is generous, which lets it anchor a seating area without needing extra pieces. It works especially well where the room can appreciate the negative space around it, letting the glass edge and the stone volume read clearly.

In a home, it suits a living room that leans modern but doesn’t have to feel cold. In a studio or gallery-like setting, it can act almost like a plinth that still performs as a table.

Longevity

Terraliquida is built around two enduring materials: limestone and tempered glass. The stone’s split-face sides are naturally forgiving visually, while the flamed top keeps the surface language consistent and intentional. And the glass stays honest over time because it isn’t tinted; it’s simply clear.

glasitalia offers this piece as specified, with no custom-made options. That straightforward approach fits the design: precise, edited, and meant to be left as is.
