Nero Marquinia base with Rosso Levanto top

or Rosso Levanto base with Nero Marquinia top

Top element: vase, fruit bowl or candle holder, available in Nero Marquinia or Rosso Levanto marble.

Manufacturer: Mmairo

Drawing on the notion of offerings in ancient cultures, Inside Out is a modern reinterpretation of the sacrificial and the ritualistic. As with her previous work, Totem, also exhibited here, Karen Chekerdjian displays an affinity for modularity: from a single foundation sprout multiple possibilities. Teeming with the vigorous energy emitted by its sleek marble, this coffee table can change from a vase, to a candle holder, to a fruit basket. The top element of this design defines its function without distorting the familiar nature of the piece, which bridges the archaic and the contemporary.
