Rodolfo Dordoni designed a sculptural and bold table for Minotti. Dubbed the Marvin dining table, the designer used mixed materials to complete the project and create a uniquely patterned standout piece. Inspired by architectural structures, the table can take various shapes and sizes to fit different living spaces.
The designer opted for a sculptural base with a bold yet sleek finish. The table is made from curved metal quarters and sits atop a customizable base. Consumers can choose to include a satin-finish stainless steel base design or a pewter-colored varnished metal with distinctive black inserts on the edges. The different finishes create a variety of Marvin dining tables. The base can hold three tabletop options, including Bianconero marble, Marron Damasco marble, or a brushed ash veneer surface with a black lacquered finish.
