Its design is a nod to the mix of materials traditionally found in Japanese shrines. The table features [mismatched legs in wood and marble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-black), creating an artistic appearance. Urquiola's table is propped up by a marble column as its primary support. It is also held up by an oblong and a cylindrical wooden leg connected by horizontal crosspieces for additional support. The combination of materials used to create the Sengu Table illustrates a sense of balance between the world's elements. Cassina offers the design with a [round or oval top](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renorm-table).
