The AR03 ESE is a coffee table from the Amare Collection made from dark weathered steel. Two concentric circular discs compose the form: the upper disc is a broad ring with a central void, elevated slightly above a solid, wider lower disc. The industrial aesthetic is direct and unmediated, with no surface finish beyond the patina the steel has acquired.
The form is simple enough to read at a distance: two circles, one open, one solid, stacked. Up close, the weathered surface of the steel carries depth and variation in tone, shifting from deep grey to sepia across different areas of the disc.
Amare founder Bertille Achard de la Vente made the Amare Collection in Italy, using materials from Tuscany and working processes that keep material character visible in the finished object. The AR03 ESE does this through the metal itself: the colour, the rust tones, and the marks of age are the design.
Handcrafted in Italy. Available through the Monde Singulier catalog.

About
Amare
AMARE is an Italian design studio founded by Bertille Achard de la Vente. Based in Tuscany, the studio makes furniture at the intersection of minimalism and brutalism, drawing on the particular stones, woods, and metals of the region.
Achard de la Vente established AMARE around a single premise: that raw material deserves to be the subject of a piece, not its backdrop. Each object in the Amare Collection is designed to make the source material visible. The wood is distressed rather than smoothed. The stone carries its veining without intervention. The steel ages rather than being sealed. Nothing is mediated away from what the original material was.
The Amare Collection spans seating, tables, and lighting. The seating pieces, chaise longues and benches, share a low grounded geometry. Their bases are dark, worked from Tuscan wood that retains its natural texture; the upholstered surfaces are pale beige textile, quiet against the rough base below. The contrast is the design.
The tables work in a different register. The AR03 ESE is two concentric discs in dark weathered steel. The AR13 and AR14 combine dark wood with black stone, gold veining running through the material in lines that respond to the angle of light. The tables sit close to the floor, the stone panels legible from a standing position.
The lighting, a series of octagonal pendant forms cast in light beige composite material, extends the studio's language into the ceiling plane. Each pendant is faceted and sculptural, suspended by a thin wire that keeps the object rather than its mounting in view.
AMARE pieces are unique and handcrafted in Italy. The full collection is available through Monde Singulier.
