Story
Warm materials for the dolmen
Poliform presents the indoor Monolith as Emmanuel Gallina's reading of the archaic dolmen lines in warm and precious materials. The top is in black elm or travertine marble, and combined with the foot in the same finish it gives life to a monolith with an imposing and monumental appearance.
Plans, seats and rotating tray
The dimensions tab has sections for rectangular and round plans and for a low version. A note says that for some table sizes, chairs 535 mm wide increase the number of available seats. A rotating tray is an option, with useful-space drawings for round tables of 1600, 1800, 2000 and 2500 mm.
