Pierre Small Table

Overview

In designing the Pierre side tables, Jean-Marie Massaud carried out an in-depth study of marble and explored its expressive potential in a completely original way. The three Pierre tables have a geometric and modern design and refined proportions.

Construction

• Structure: an L-profile aluminium frame carries a base of painted steel tubing with a burnished finish
• Feet: knurled burnished aluminium with adjustable plastic caps
• Top: marble in five finishes: Calacatta brilliant, Calacatta semi-brilliant, Arabescato Venato brilliant, Arabescato Venato semi-brilliant, and Marquinia with a natural glossy finish

Specifications

Height 32 cm

Marble as the centre of the table

The thin aluminium shelf supports the marble tops, which brings out their thickness and beauty without artifice. The workmanship accentuates the aesthetic characteristics of each marble. The tables look straightforward but show the craftsmanship of Poltrona Frau's master craftsmen in preparing and assembling the materials.

Surface treatments

The brilliant tops get a clear polyester coat for extra surface resistance, so liquids are not absorbed. On the semi-brilliant tops a protective water-repellent solution is applied instead, for a more natural appearance. The Marquinia top has scored lines simulating a pattern of tiles of different widths.
