Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel, Green Onyx Marble
H 98 x L 123 х W 36 cm
Unique piece

The console is built upon the contrast of two materials — polished stainless steel and natural onyx. The mirror-like surface of the metal base reflects and fragments the surrounding space, intensifying the visual dynamism of the object.

The onyx top, by contrast, introduces an element of stability and depth. The stone's natural stratification and unique veining create a complex texture that speaks to its lengthy process of formation.

The juxtaposition of industrially finished metal and natural material produces a taut balance in which reflection and materiality complement one another.
