Cast in dense, textured concrete, its monolithic presence and bold geometric massing reflect the architectural sensibility that defined avant-garde design on both sides of the Atlantic during the late twentieth century.

Ideal for anchoring a modernist interior, a covered terrace, or a sculptural garden setting where architectural scale and visual weight are desired. See less
