The slip-cast porcelain forms of the lantern series float along a rigid brass structure. Their glow is punctuated by finely incised fluting, connecting to the essential element of historical lanterns – light passing through a delicate protective form. Repeating spheres act as a counterpoint to the sizeable shades. A dimmer ball sits on the base.

The Taula table collection was inspired by the imposing monolithic structures of the same name that are found on the Mediterranean islands of Menorca and Mallorca. Designer Patricia Urquiola has reinterpreted their ancestral might and mysticism in a series of innovative dining tables that exalt the tactility of natural stone. The soft sinuous forms of marble and limestone combine with an ingenious metal support system that creates the effect of a top that seems to float above the legs. This optical illusion, the result of meticulous research conducted by our team into form and perspective, defies our normal perception of stone as a solid, heavy material, making it appear unexpectedly light.

The Abyss Console table is a beautiful new addition to the Abyss range. The base of the Abyss Console takes a more fluid approach to representing the geological erosion of the Earth’s Crust; it moves and flows in greater detail, like billowing fabric or distorted rock at high pressures.

Beautiful, bold, and dynamic…a permanent form emerges from a mountain of millions of sand particles. Inspired by the wave-like patterns seen in windswept dunes, the Dune coffee table captivates the essence of the desert with its incredible fluidity and dynamic, free-flowing appearance. Dune is brought to life by 3D printing in black quartz sand to create a solid, textured, and premium finish. Each work is paired with a thick glass tabletop to give a sense of grandeur to the finished piece.

Balance is an uplifting coffee table design conjured up by Christopher Duffy, working with the concept of levitation and buoyancy.

Appearing as if it could topple at any moment, Balance introduces a sense of fun into the living space. This piece was created using the latest large-scale 3D printing technology.

Civilization is a series of uniquely hand-carved marble coffee and dining tables based on ancient Temples and Monuments hewn from their surrounding landscapes. This series pays homage to their great artistry to create pieces that will last for the civilizations that come long after us. Our aim with the Civilisation tables is to use the medium of sculpture – one of the oldest art forms, working with traditional materials, tools, and techniques – to reinterpret and reimagine these incredible structures, and to create modern furniture designs which pay homage to their outstanding beauty as well as the artistry and excellent skills of the artisans that first made them.
