dining table
The Arkady dining table is made of an artistic stone slab and a transparent glass
top, forming a display case. The legs are in metal worked in the foundry by sand
casting, in order to create a three-dimensional texture with a “hammered” effect:
created through a “master template”, the sand mould is covered with the fused
metal. The sand, extremely fine, creates a 3D texture which is polished by hand to
obtain a unique material effect, and is lacquered with the colours of the Visionnaire
samples such as gold, chrome, black nickel, etc. The stone slab is worked manually
to give this element a unique and precious value, through the processing in bas-
relief of the Crema Marfil stone, with irregular borders, and the laying of artistic
resins and Himalayan salt. The extra-clear glass top with bevelled edge protrudes
from the irregular edge of the stone with an oval shape and is placed on the base
in four points to give the maximum idea of lightness.
