Overview

Top and bases are marble, brushed with diamond wheels and treated to be water-repellent; the feet are grey felt. On DOL3 the two bases are fixed 50 cm apart.
Specifications
DOL3: 260 x 115 x 74 cm (product sheet).
Story
Marble with a 1980s twist
Giulio Cappellini designed Dolmen as a table that keeps to the tradition of classic marble while borrowing from the stylistic influences of the 1980s. The page says this is expressed through a carefully studied interplay of shapes: an oval top on two semicircular bases.
A new dimension in 2024
In 2024 the Dolmen collection added a further dimension. The page says the two semicircular bases, freestanding in the two dimensions already available, are positioned at a fixed distance in this version to guarantee maximum stability. For the DOL3 table the product sheet gives that distance as 50 cm.
