A stunning bronze sphinx sculpture that doubles as a coffee table. Designed by Mice.

A stunning sculptural coffee table that combines art and functionality , crafted as an imposing bronze sphinx that serves as the supporting structure for the tabletop. Attributed to the MICE design, this piece exemplifies how sculpture can seamlessly integrate into furnishing with expressive force and material presence. The sphinx, rendered with exquisite sculptural quality, recalls classical archetypes and mysterious symbolism, yet is reinterpreted with a contemporary sensibility, becoming the focus of a striking sculptural coffee table design.

The chiseled bronze features surfaces rich in texture and detail, with meticulously modeled volumes of the leonine body, wings, and stylized face, while the gilding or natural patina adds chromatic depth to the overall effect. The upper surface—usually made of transparent glass or marble—is designed to highlight the sculptural base, creating a visual balance between the lightness of the surface and the figurative mass of the sculpture.

This coffee table is more than just a simple accessory: it's a sculptural design piece designed for spaces where art and furniture interact harmoniously. It's perfect as a centerpiece in large-scale living rooms, designer lounges, exhibition galleries, or private collections , where it can capture attention and serve as a focal point.

The formal language blends classical references (the figure of the sphinx) with modern sensibility: an object that enhances modern classic environments, eclectic character, high-end contemporary interiors and design projects that seek unique and iconic pieces.
