LOKUM COFFEE TABLE
LOKUM COFFEE TABLE
Designed by Sabine Marcelis
Matter, light and colour merge in an intense material interplay in the Lokum series of side tables, crafted by Sabine Marcelis for Acerbis.
It is a collection that captures the sophistication of minimalist shapes, enhanced by the skilled craftsmanship of blown glass.
Sabine Marcelis, known for her poetic and meticulous use of reflective surfaces and colour nuances, has fashioned a collection that radiates ethereal charm. This collection produces remarkable interplays of light and shade.
Lokum is available in rectangular and square versions in amber and smoky hues providing extensive versatility for standalone pieces or in conjunction with other items for customised configurations. Lokum is the tangible result of the Dutch designer’s ability to transform materials into works of art.

PROCESS
Sabine Marcelis takes us inside the furnace where the Lokum table is crafted, illustrating the intricate glass-blowing process. This artisanal method demands great skill, using fire and air to shape the material. The designer highlights how the curved volumes of the Lokum interact with light, turning it into a sculptural element with a strong visual impact.
