ISOLA COFFEE TABLE
The Isola Coffee Table is inspired by the irregular, organic shapes found in the salt marshes of the Venetian lagoon. It is also strongly reminiscent of the bodies of thick ice which can be seen in the Engadine valley in Switzerland during the winter months.
The tabletop is handcrafted in cast glass. Heated in a large oven, the molten glass is carefully poured into a steel mould, worked lightly and then taken to a giant oven where it is allowed to cool gradually. Several artisans are involved in this carefully choreographed process where precision and timing play integral roles.
The thick, smooth glass top embodies both the fluid and rigid nature of the material, as it plays with the surrounding light, giving the table a floating lake-like quality. A simple frame composed of inox steel provides an elegant yet sturdy base.
The Isola Coffee Table is available in three colourways of glass and made entirely in the Veneto region, Italy. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Designed by Marie-Rose Kahane.
