A SCULPTURAL SIDE TABLE
Salute is a family of tables mixing marble and metal for a high visual impact. As an occasional table, Salute is the perfect companion to your iconic armchair or next to a comfy sofa, with its clean lines and yet strong personality. As a combination of tables, it is a sculptural coffee table that you can customize and adapt both in dimensions and colors.

What was the original inspiration for the Salute side table ?

THE ART OF CUTTING
The soul of the Salute collection lies in its imposing monolithic pillar.
In our workshops, cutting solid marble is a step that is as spectacular as it is decisive. The raw stone blocks are sawn and shaped with extreme precision to obtain perfect cylinders.
This demanding craftsmanship reveals the deep and unique veining of each stone, creating the iconic contrast of the Salute table: a powerful mineral anchor supporting a seemingly floating tabletop.
