The body of this coffee table is formed by an approximately 100-year-old drum. The pedal-drums include original leather membranes, back-lit in order to admire their leather texture as well as the traces of music they once made, the imprint of the pedal and repairs to torn leather. The table has its central focal point, a large ball of pyrite (also known as Fool’s Gold) that can be easily removed and used for esoteric and meditation practices. When lit, the coffee table becomes the focal center of an interior, inviting us to enjoy a glass of good whiskey or a game of chess or cards.
