The Monolith Stool & Side Table rests on the intersection of sculptural art and functional home design. This cubic table was conceived in a Parisian design studio and stands as a symbolic representation of divine power, union and exchange. The table is made from concrete, steel and carbon and gold leaves, celebrating "innovation as much as aesthetic beauty."
A Monolith describes a carved block of stone that's comprised of at least one natural element. Aptly named, the stool and side table appears as a block of stone that has been chipped away delicately, revealing a gleaming interior. Available in three special editions, this hand-crafted furniture defies the conventions of home decor, presenting an object whose form follows its function, resulting in artistic furniture.
