Acerbis Small Menhir Coffee Table In Red Marble Base With Mustard Yellow Top

Designed in 1983 by Giotto Stoppino and Lodovico Acerbis, the Menhir collection is inspired by the stone monoliths of the British Isles and France, which are the archetype of the column.This research gave rise to the design of a base consisting of a steel column and marble drums with different finishes and shapes placed on top of each other.The current version maintains the drums’ shape but has more contemporary finishes, with matt marble and new lacquered tops in colours that recall the gritty imagination of the late 60s and evoke the company’s heritage.Base units and topsSystem of low tables and consolles feature versatility, combination of various shapes, sizes and materials.The base unit is made of epoxy powder coated steel in black matt finish, available in the following heights:36.2 - 42.5 - 48.8 for tables and 80.2 for consoles.The tops in the Ø 80, 100, 120 cm size and 180x40 consolles are made of medium density wood fibre, 20 mm thick, worked on the edge. The tops are available in glossy lacquered finishes in burgundy, pink, dark green, mustard yellow, brick red, clay, white and black or in the special inlaid and brushed open grain veneer, in black ash and dark stained walnut.The drums have five different sizes and weights and ring the column, giving the table the necessary weight to guarantee stability and create supporting structures with a differentiated design. Monolithic elements are available in matt marble, in the Carrara Statuario white, Marquinia black, Levanto red and Alpi green finish, a chromatic variety that reveals a typically Italian tradition.Lodovico Acerbis was born in Albino, Bergamo in 1939 and graduated in Economics and Business in Milan. In 1963 he joined his father’s company with the aim of creating design furniture by applying the most advanced technologies and the best materials. Founded in 1870, as a carpentry workshop, the company under his direction reached industrial dimensions and established itself as a leading company in the sector. Lodovico Acerbis combined his work as an industrialist with that of a designer, producing some of the most significant creations of Italian production, often signed together with Giotto Stoppino, with whom he created a fervent creative partnership.Born in Vigevano in 1926, Giotto Stoppino studied Architecture at Milan and Venice. Since 1953 he has devoted himself almost entirely to architecture, founding together with Gregotti and Meneghetti one of the most culturally committed architects’ offices. Since 1968, with his own independent studio, he has dedicated himself to design. He was president of ADI for the three-year period 1982-1985 and president of the Compasso d’Oro award in 1984. His works are in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, in the Museum für angewandte Kunst in Munich, in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the City-Hall in Shanghai.Additional information:Material: Steel, wood, marbleTop finish: Glossy lacquered mustard yellow LL23Base finish: Levanto red marble MR06Stand finish: Matt painted blackDimensions: Ø 80 x 42.5 H cmAvailable in other finish options: Glossy lacquered bordeaux LL20, Glossy lacquered pink LL21, Glossy lacquered dark green LL22, Glossy lacquered brick red LL24, Glossy lacquered white SW LL09, Glossy lacquered clay LL15, Glossy lacquered black LL06, Glossy lacquered sand LL12, Glossy lacquered linen LL10, Glossy lacquered white LL02, Glossy lacquered navy blue LL25, Black ash ES58, Dark stained walnut ES59, Carrara statuario white marble MR04, Marquinia black marble MR05, Alpi green marble MR07Available in other size options: Ø80x36.2, Ø100x36.2, Ø120x36.2, Ø100x42.5, Ø120x42.5, Ø80x48.8, Ø100x48.8, 180x40x80.2Available in various other options
