Black, white and brass work as well in a hotel restaurant as in a cocktail lounge. This rectangular table uses a black stone-look surface with thin white veins and a crisp eased edge, carried on two wide black cones.
Each cone tapers upward from a brushed brass disc to a narrow neck under the top, finished in matte black. The brass ring at the floor is the only metal you see, and it catches the light exactly where most tables look heaviest.
Why two cones
A rectangular four-top on a single cone either needs a huge base or rocks at the ends. Two cones set toward each end carry the top at two points, keep the long sides open for knees, and give a grounded look that suits formal rooms.
Specifying
- Sintered stone in a Nero Marquina-type pattern is the hard-wearing default; real black marble is possible where the owner accepts etching.
- The cones are steel or timber shells finished in black; the brass can be brushed, polished or swapped for dark bronze.
- Levelling glides sit under each disc.
A 28 × 51 in (70 × 130 cm) top seats four; longer tops keep the same two-cone principle. Sizes are drawn to your plan.
