Jewel-tables of authority — where beauty becomes power.

ONE OF ONE

Collection

Imperium is the chamber of sovereignty — tables made like jewelry. They are not designed to disappear into a room, but to command it quietly: a calm center of gravity, an altar of status, a surface that holds attention.

What Imperium holds

  • Authority: grounded presence, not dominance.
  • Focus: a stable visual core for ritual, tarot, contemplation.
  • Adornment: gemstones as anchors — weight, sparkle, meaning.
  • Ritual utility: made to be used daily, not placed behind glass.
  • Myth: every piece carries its own title, symbol, and frequency.

Signature aesthetic

  • Palette: antique gold, pearl light, opal fire, deep inks.
  • Structure: symmetry with controlled asymmetry — power with elegance.
  • Depth: layered surfaces, lacquer-like gloss, jewel dimension.
  • Details: cameos, ornaments, floral motifs, filigree geometry.
  • Rarity: each Imperium table is a single work (1/1).

Imperium is created for spaces that want a statement without noise: private homes, studios, tarot rooms, galleries, and boutique interiors — anywhere beauty is allowed to carry power.

Materials & Process

Each Imperium piece is built slowly, layer by layer — a hybrid of art object and functional design. What looks like “a print” becomes a sealed, dimensional surface through paint, resin, and polishing.

Base & Structure

  • Table base: vintage table or solid construction (varies by piece).
  • Stability: reinforced where needed; prepared for long-term use.
  • Surface base: wood panel / prepared tabletop, sealed and leveled.

Image & Painting

  • Artwork layer: mounted image / print integrated into the surface.
  • Hand-painting: pigments, shading, highlights, linework, detailing.
  • Gold accents: metallic pigments / gilded details (piece dependent).

Jewels & Inlays

  • Stones: crystals / cabochons (e.g., amethyst, sapphire tones, emerald, opal effects).
  • Pearls: luminous accents for softness and authority.
  • Ornaments: filigree, cameo elements, motifs (varies by table).

Resin & Finish

  • Resin layers: epoxy poured in layers to create depth and “jewel glass” effect.
  • Polishing: machine-polished for a high-gloss, lacquer-like surface.
  • Protection: sealed finish designed for daily ritual use.
Edition: Every Imperium table is 1/1, never repeated. Made in: Helsinki. Care: client care instructions are provided with each piece.

Acquisition
