With a unique beauty, the MAGMA coffee table refers to the molten and semi-molten mineral substances found under the Earth's crust.
Composed of a semi-sphere of agglomerated dark cork that evokes the earth's crust, MAGMA features a highly polished stone top with intense and expressive veins. This surface portrays a peculiar narrative about the beauty of our planet, dynamic yet deeply fragile, highlighting what is important to care for and preserve - Nature.
The coffee table is available in two sizes that combine with the option of a turned wooden beam base that elevates the semi-sphere, in an ode to our planet. Combine the different versions of MAGMA and boost conscious attitudes, creating more sustainable spaces!

How will this ship / transport? You have a very heavy and fragile marble top that needs a wooden frame crate to protect this part alone. Then you have a large volume of cork that cannot be dismantled or folded flat. Finally you have a simple dowel wooden frame that needs to be glued or screwed together to be strong enough to hold the weight of the marble top. Harvesting stone is in no way environmentally friendly, even if the cutting can be done by water-jet. The dowel frame or the cork needs to go, keep it simple and don't waste materials if you want to be environmentally aware. Its a very bulky design that would be expensive to transport and therefore not very economic to produce or sell.
