Catalog excerpts

A round side table constructed from six wedge sections of varying radiuses set out of alignment alongside each other with an outside edge of solid natural oak or open-pored black-stained oak. The six non-aligned sections, forming the table top with a hole in the centre, are available in three different finishes: rattan with natural oak edges, white Carrara marble with natural oak edges and black Marquiña marble with open-pored black stained oak edges.
