STEPP

Stepp is a 400 kg dining table that expresses a sense of lightness, which contrasts with the inertia and massiveness normally attributed to marble. It represents a challenge to the intrinsic mechanical capacity of the noble stone. The complex engineering process of an invisible structure combines the stone with a metal core, mixing the marble’s compression capacity with the stainless steel’s traction resilience. This process allows the legs to be thin and look like they are sprinting under the table-top, creating an overall innovative and playful expression of marble.
