The sumptuousness colours of nature The stone is the star of the show in these tables designed by Michael Anastassiades with the specific intention of highlighting the opulence of the marbles chosen for his collection ‘Love Me, Love Me Not’. In the words of the designer, “I wanted to use regal colours which conveyed a sense of the grandiose, through the sumptuousness that is associated with marble. “Simultaneously, I didn’t want to overwhelm the eye, so it was necessary to strike a balance between this lavishness and the functionality and of lightness of the tables.” Instead of the highly polished look often associated with marble, the designer chose a matte finish so as to bring a more contemporary touch to the stones, highlighting their specific qualities through this subdued process. The simplicity of each table is misleading. For example, if we take the legs, at a glance they look like a conventional four-cornered leg but if you look closely you will see that they are, in fact, curved in a petal-like shape. This has the effect of lightening the table from a visual point of view. Please note that we do not recommend placing these tables outside. Good to know This table has been treated with a neutral sealer which not only helps protects it from staining, but also ensures it is suitable for use with food. Please be aware however, that natural stone will always retain some level of absorption and therefore products with a high acid, fat or oil content should never be placed on it. Any liquids should be wiped off as quickly as possible.
