Taula

The Taula table collection was inspired by the imposing monolithic structures of the same name that are found on the Mediterranean islands of Menorca and Mallorca.‎ Designer Patricia Urquiola has reinterpreted their ancestral might and mysticism in a series of innovative dining tables that exalt the tactility of natural stone.‎The soft sinuous forms of marble and limestone combine with an ingenious metal support system that creates the effect of a top that seems to float above the legs.‎ This optical illusion, the result of meticulous research conducted by our team into form and perspective, defies our normal perception of stone as a solid, heavy material, making it appear unexpectedly light.‎The result is a series of six striking and original dining tables, with rectangular variants in Crema d’Orcia, Pietra d’Avola and a combination of Bianco Carrara with legs in sandblasted Pietra d’Avola, and in a square shape in Bianco Carrara, Gris du Marais® and Bianco Carrara paired with sandblasted Verde Alpi.‎This dining tables have been treated with a neutral sealer which not only helps protects it from staining, but also ensures it is suitable for use with food.‎Please be aware however, that natural stone will always retain some level of absorption and therefore products with a high acid, fat or oil content should never be placed on it.‎Any liquids should be wiped off as quickly as possible.‎
