Nova Essentia - The lightness of form
A collection by the MAGNA Atelier about reduction, precision and the quiet power of modernity.
There are pieces of furniture that fill a room.
And there are pieces of furniture that create space.
Nova Essentia belongs to the second variety.
This collection is like taking a deep breath – reduced to the essentials, free of ballast. It thinks not in terms of mass, but in lines. Not in terms of decoration, but in balance. The result is tables that almost float – yet are crafted from solid natural stone.
Nova Essentia thrives on an aesthetic that needs no explanation. It is expressed in sleek proportions, smooth surfaces, and fine edges that guide the eye without capturing it. The frames—usually made of brushed or powder-coated metal—are designed to support the object without obscuring it. The tabletops rest on them as if by themselves, whether made of light marble, tranquil limestone, or delicately shimmering quartzite.
For rooms that seek space
A table from the Nova Essentia collection brings light and air into any room. It complements clean walls, large windows, and high ceilings—but also works well in compact spaces, where it creates a sense of openness by eliminating visual barriers.
You sit at it and feel its support – not through mass, but through balance. It's both a work table and a dining table, a meeting place and a haven of peace. Its minimalist design emanates a quiet power that doesn't stand out, but rather makes an impact.
Material in its purest form
Nova Essentia selects natural stone that exudes tranquility: light marble with gentle veins, fine limestone with a warm feel, travertine with a subtle texture. The surfaces are smooth but never sterile—each grain tells its own story from the depths of the earth. The metal of the frames is precisely crafted, matte or finely brushed to emphasize the lines rather than break them.
These tables aren't loud. They're inviting. They whisper—and if you take your time, you'll hear the details.
Models that define lightness
Each model in this collection interprets the theme of lightness in its own way:
Tokio dining table – with its gently curved base and clear top, it appears almost seamless, harmonious, and balanced.
– Palo Alto desk – minimalist and elegant, a workstation with an open effect and reduced form.
– Pittsburgh side table – compact, lightweight yet solid, perfect for flexible accents in the room.
– Pittsburgh coffee table – simple geometry meets fine materials, a quiet focal point for the living area.
– Brooklyn Bistro Table – urban-inspired, with a clear silhouette and a presence that is both charming and understated.
– Silicon Valley coffee table – modern and futuristic in its expression, with a design language that brings calm and structure to the room.
Each piece is custom-made in the MAGNA Atelier, using genuine natural stone and carefully crafted metal. Handcrafted with precision and a deep understanding of materials and proportions.
