Overview
Islands Low Table is a Stephen Burks design for Living Divani, dated 2020. The tops come black lacquered, in marble or veneered in wood, and a perimeter of pirouetting slats turns the tables into practical containers.
Construction
The set has three different heights and diameters, and the rotating slats make each table accessible from all sides. In the indoor version, top and base are 19 mm shaped and bevelled MDF, with the base always painted in matte scratch-resistant black. The top is veneered in charcoal-dyed oak or Stone Oak with bevelled edges painted matte black, or is 15 mm marble or quartzite fixed to the MDF top with screws. The slats are extruded aluminium of elliptical section, 70 x 16 mm, held by black nylon moulded parts and tension rods. The outdoor version has top and base in 20 mm shaped and bevelled HPL with AISI 316 stainless steel tension rods. Extruded aluminium feet screw to the base and shaped feet meet the floor.
