Coraza is a side table by Studio Mohs combining bent stainless steel with a solid diabase top. The folded steel structure is joined through exposed mechanical connections, and the stone top is intentionally offset, creating a subtle tension within the composition.
The piece explores the restrained tension embedded within rigid material. Rather than concealing its construction, the mechanical connections reveal the forces that hold the folded steel in place, so the assembly itself becomes part of the object’s expression. The volcanic diabase opens a dialogue between metal and stone, letting their contrasting qualities exist in balance — tension expressed not as movement, but as a force held in equilibrium.
Coraza is part of the first edition of Studio Mohs’ Solid Echo Collection, which explores the silent force, material memory and restrained energy within metal and stone. The first drop consists of three pieces — Coraza, Argolla and Cadena — investigating the sounds and vibrations of metals in contact, the traces retained within surfaces, and processes of oxidation, patina and transformation over time.
Due to the natural characteristics of stone, each piece is unique and may vary slightly from the photos.
