Nibbles

Nibbles is a long oval dining table with a Calacatta marble top and marble feet, carried on a champagne-lacquered steel structure. At 230 centimetres it seats a full table, so we thin the edge back to a fine airplane-wing profile, machined from our own programming and finished by hand, until the slab reads lighter than the weight it actually is. That edge is where most of the hours go on this table.

We bring the marble to a honed matte across the top and the feet, and lacquer the steel a champagne tone so the metal warms toward the stone instead of fighting it. We keep the line plain on purpose, a table that sits with most rooms rather than asking one to be built around it.

Nibbles Wood is the oval Nibbles dining table with solid wood feet in place of marble ones, the wooden detail that gives the table its name. We set a long marble top on a black steel structure and turn the legs from solid wood, matching the species to the stone above it. The top keeps the thinned, airplane-wing edge of the family, machined from our own programming and finished by hand.
