Lamè

DAVANI Creative Director Anthony Davani in collaboration with the acclaimed multi-disciplinary studio INC Architecture & Design presents a delightfully sophisticated new table series, Lamé. The name is a reference to the Lamé curve or super-ellipse. Ingenious, organic, and almost impossibly precise, they are nature nurtured for the interior landscape.

The flatpack feature allows for easy assembly of the tables. Each uniquely shaped slab has been carefully sculpted to key into its partners without fasteners to create a balanced whole, revealing how these natural stone tables were developed to be functional sculptures.

Natural Stone Material

The primary materials emphasize the raw beauty found in nature. The four marbles used in this series were selected for their fossilized, sedimentary character and their tonal neutral palette has calming qualities. The subtle, shifting movement of the stones selected for these tables works as a foil to their flowing, curvaceous lines, like sand or earth rendered solid.

ORGANIC FORM

Stone used as a single material for furniture can be heavy, fragile and unwieldy, but these cleverly conceived and carefully engineered tables actually arrive as individual stone slabs, flat-packed for easy assembly. Each uniquely shaped slab has been carefully sculpted to key into its partners without fasteners to create a balanced whole. Held in place by gravity alone, the precisely carved interlocking slabs of marble come together in a single, self-supporting structure. In some of the designs, the spot where the base keys into the top is visible and forms an X shape in the table’s surface, adding to its puzzle/object appeal.

The freedom of shape made possible through computer-aided stone cutting, combined with traditional stone carving techniques from antiquity, lend this artfully realized object a timely and timeless character. Its organic silhouette was developed as a functional sculpture. These cleverly conceived tables actually arrive as individual stone slabs, flat-packed for easy assembly.

Suitable for the dining room or a home office, this rectangular table consists of five flatpack pieces that key together seamlessly. The base connects and forms a cross shape at the surface of the irregular rectangular tabletop. Designed to comfortably seat up to 6 to 8 people.

The high nesting table is the highest of the three main nesting tables and perfect for tight seating groups. Its dynamic shape and inverse cut of the base leg allows for more flexibility with nesting the coffee tables. Parts of the table base subtly pierce beyond the table’s surface, adding to its sculptural profile.

The occasional table is a side table that can stand alone as an end table or form a cluster with the three coffee tables. This organic-shaped table consists of three unique flatpack parts that key into each other seamlessly. Its curved base evokes a sense of drama and form.
