The 'Skim' coffee table has been designed by Karim Rashid in collaboration with A.A.T.C. as a sculptural piece of furniture for the modern home or office. The coffee table consists of a two-layer tabletop achieved with marble and glass to give it a strong presence, regardless of the space it's placed in. The table is supported by a hemispherical marble base, which gives it the appearance of teetering on top with a sense of illusive balance.
The 'Skim' coffee table highlights the capabilities of A.A.T.C. when it comes to marble processing and will no doubt speak to those with an interest in museum-like decor pieces. The table speaks to the increasing demand for naturalistic decor pieces.
