Inspired by the ritual reconstruction of Japanese shrines, the 559 Sengu Dining Table is a contemporary piece that celebrates light-hearted cheer through dialogue between diverse materials. Boasting great visual tactility, its geometric design is distinguished by its novel solid wood structure, consisting of a captivating column and solid crosspiece, topped with a luxurious marble tabletop.
This forever piece of furniture is sure to astound onlookers whilst providing a sculpturally beautiful spot for dining with friends and family.
