Contemporary Sculptural Marble and Steel minimalist coffee table
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Designed and crafted in downtown Los Angeles by Dieppa Design. Built from solid 1” thick steel rods and a unique heavily veined marble slab. A Unique viewing experiences from every angle. Marble top: 34.5” Height: 18 3/4” Base undulates from 34.5” wide to 43” wide This piece is a conversation of two materials.

Please note: the top is a sourced vintage marble slab...
