Three related forms
Cyclade comprises low, mid, and tall occasional tables, each with its own plan and height. Curved edges, notched openings, and pass-throughs allow the pieces to nest or stand separately.
Wood or stone tops
The tops are offered in wood or Carrara marble, paired with powder-coated Onyx Ultra Matte legs. The low table can also receive a separate glass bowl in its circular opening.
Representative low table
The selected Walnut low model measures 28.9 in wide, 41 in deep, and 11 in high. The representative store configuration omits the optional bowl.
Story
Islands moving together
Gabriel Tan designed Cyclade in Porto and looked to Pangea and shifting islands for the way distinct forms can gather and separate. The name refers to encircling islands, while the tables translate that idea into connected curves and carefully used negative space.
Form as function
Tan treated openings and notches as active parts of each table. They allow one piece to pass around another, accept the optional bowl in the low table, or approach a nearby furniture leg while maintaining the identity of each sculptural form.
