Marc Krusin, Clay, Desalto

The Clay table designed by Marc Krusin for Desalto and presented at this year’s Milan Design Week balances the top and base one on the other in a bold experiment with a surface reduced to the bare minimum.

The UK designer resolved the critical construction detail presented by the top resting on a tapered base by developing a connection piece which, despite its small size, does not compromise the stability of the table. Constant technical research by the company has produced a coating for the MDF-top version made from a special lava-stone paste that is spread by hand using a palette knife to instil a sense of naturalness but also strength.
