This is the grandest configuration of Springer’s iconic sculptural series, designed for high-end residential interiors that demand architectural weight and 1980s Hollywood Regency glamour.
Each of the four massive pillars is meticulously crafted in hand-laid tessellated Mactan (fossil) stone, offering a rich, organic texture that serves as a counterpoint to the industrial polished brass hardware. This authentic Springer piece features the signature internal brass rod anchoring system: structural brass bolts pass directly through precision-drilled holes in the glass to physically lock the massive slab to the stone supports.

While a masterpiece of 1980s Postmodernism, this table's neutral palette and clean geometric lines allow it to anchor a wide range of contemporary aesthetics. Its "monumental" scale makes it a perfect centerpiece for:
• High-End Organic Modern: Complements bouclé seating and natural textures.
• Quiet Luxury: The fossil stone offers a sophisticated, understated alternative to loud marble.
• Curated Transitional: Adds architectural interest and a vintage soul to a modern, clean-lined living space.
• Maximalist / Hollywood Regency: Pairs beautifully with brass accents, bold colors, and velvet upholstery. See less
