The design is deliberately simple enough to let the material carry much of the visual interest. Stone or marble provides the movement; the geometry keeps the piece from becoming ornamental.
Let Atene sit where the base can be seen. In a larger living room, one piece can anchor the centre; where several sizes exist, a loose cluster is more interesting than lining them up too neatly. Keep the surrounding furniture quieter.
One object is usually one more than it needs. A tray, a book or one object is enough; covering the surface would hide the material and the relationship between top and base that makes Atene interesting.
Set a straight-edged piece nearby so the curve has something to argue with. A second sculptural form nearby would cancel both out.
Atene is a coffee table by Giulio Marelli. Soft geometry gives Atene enough presence to sit at the centre of a room without dominating it.
