JUNE"S THOUGHTS
What first caught my attention wasn't the marble—it was the beautifully engineered mixed-metal base. The contrast between the warm brass upper stretcher and the darker cast stretchers gives the table depth and character from every angle. While the marble is a dramatic statement, the sculptural base is versatile enough that it could one day support a custom glass top, creating an entirely different aesthetic while showcasing the architecture beneath.
