The Uniquely Designed Sengu Table Includes Marble & Wood Components
Elena Rahman — September 28, 2021 — Art & Design
The Sengu Table was designed by Patricia Urquiola for the furniture brand Cassina. Its design is a nod to the mix of materials traditionally found in Japanese shrines. The table features mismatched legs in wood and marble, creating an artistic appearance.
Urquiola's table is propped up by a marble column as its primary support. It is also held up by an oblong and a cylindrical wooden leg connected by horizontal crosspieces for additional support. The combination of materials used to create the Sengu Table illustrates a sense of balance between the world's elements. Cassina offers the design with a round or oval top. Consumers can choose between five marble finishes as well as American walnut, natural oak, and black-stained oak.
