The rectangular top is composed of individual stone tiles, each with its own natural variation in tone and pattern, creating a subtle patchwork effect that gives the piece depth and visual interest. The surface has a quiet, earthy presence, with the kind of patina that only develops over time.

The top is supported by a slender black metal frame with gently splayed legs and stretcher bars, lending the table an elegant, almost graphic silhouette. This contrast between the weight of the stone and the lightness of the structure is typical of mid-century design, where materials are allowed to speak for themselves.

The tiled stone top is enlivened by natural dendritic markings, formed by mineral deposits within the stone, giving the surface a distinctive, almost illustrative character. See less
