Gong Lux Side Table

Galvanic finishing is an electrochemical process that deposits a layer of metal onto a base surface, producing a richly reflective finish with greater depth and durability than conventional plating. On the Gong Lux, this process gives the brass surface a luminous quality that evolves with handling and light exposure over time.

The galvanic brass finish will develop a subtle patina influenced by its environment, humidity, and handling. This is a natural characteristic of the material, and many collectors regard the gradual shift in tone as part of the object's identity rather than wear.

Giulio Cappellini is one of Italy's most influential design directors, credited with shaping Cappellini into a global platform for experimental and emerging design talent from the 1980s onward. His own designs reflect the same editorial precision he applied to the brand's collections: refined form, considered materiality, and a quiet confidence in proportion.

The Gong Lux is proportioned for use as a side or accent table in residential and hospitality settings. Its metal construction is durable, though brass surfaces benefit from gentle cleaning with a soft cloth to preserve the finish.

Cappellini has consistently treated industrial fabrication as a design tool rather than a constraint, commissioning works that push sheet metal, composites, and precision manufacturing toward sculptural ends. The Gong Lux reflects that philosophy, using laser-cutting and galvanic finishing not as embellishment, but as the defining logic of the form.
