LEO SIDE TABLE

Leo is a side table built on solid marble. A square top sits on an angular leg that stands in a marble cube. The weight is in the stone at the bottom; the top is a thin plane above it.

Marble as the base, not the top

On almost every table the stone is the surface and something cheaper holds it up; here the marble is the weight at the bottom and the top is a thin plane above it. It works because a block of stone needs no bracing — it simply is heavy enough — so the stem can be as slim as the metal allows.

Made for corners

Square against round, angular against cylindrical: Leo is the counterpart of Lucy. Alone, it suits a corner where a square top sits flush against two walls. Small enough to go where a conventional side table does not.

Materials and sizes

Made to order. Stone, metal finish and dimensions are specified per project — ask us which marbles are currently available rather than choosing from a screen, because stone photographs flatter and darker than it looks in a room.

Where it belongs

Beside a chair, at the end of a sofa, in a hotel room, in a lounge. In a plain room it is the piece that carries the material interest; in a busy one it competes.
