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.
Flatpack
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.
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 stone emphasizes the raw beauty found in nature, with a unique fossil-like quality, and a neutral color palette. This is very evident on the trapezoidal expanse of the top of the low nesting coffee table (40” x 40” x 12”). It is an irregular coffee table ideal for living room spaces, lounging spaces, or hearthside. The varied angles of the table are suitable for seating arrangements with either linear or curved sofas. Of the three nesting tables, this coffee table has the lowest height at just 12”. Parts of the table base pierce beyond the table’s surface, adding to its irregular shape.

The nesting coffee tables are characterized by their expressive shapes and structural daring, achieved within a single material gesture in natural stone. The medium nesting table (42.5” x 21.5” x15”) is an irregular, rectangular-shaped coffee table most suited to linear seating groupings. The corners of the table are rounded, adding to the soft, organic qualities of the design, and that makes it family and pet-friendly as well. Some parts of the table base pierce beyond the surface of the table.

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.
Each uniquely shaped slab has been carefully sculpted to key into its partners without fasteners to create a balanced whole. Suitable for the dining room or a home office, this irregular rectangular table (108” x40” x29”) consists of five flatpack pieces that key together. The base connects and forms an integral cross shape in the top surface, contributing to the puzzle-object appeal of this unique table. As a dining table, it comfortably seats up to 8 people. It also makes a stunning executive desk.

Named after the mathematician who pioneered curvilinear arithmetic, Gabriel Lamé, the Lamé table series is at once elegant, organic, and precise. You can witness this in the irregular shape of this dining table that’s a sort of organic round/hexagon. It consists of three flatpack pieces that key together. A two-piece base connects and forms a cross shape in the table’s surface when keyed into the top. The base slabs support the tabletop with utmost stability. It seats up to 8 people comfortably for dining.

Developed as functional sculpture, the organic silhouettes of these deceptively simple tables have been rendered with an abstract clarity that is meant to balance natural form with nurtured form. The high nesting coffee table (35” x 27.5” x 18”) is the highest of the three main nesting tables, at 18” it is considered standard coffee table height. It is perfect for tight seating groups. Its irregular shape and the inverse cut of the base leg allow for more flexibility when nesting the tables. Parts of the table base pierce beyond the table’s surface, adding to its irregular shape.

The occasional table is a side table. It can stand alone as an end table bedside, sofa, or chairside, or form a cluster with the three, low, nesting coffee tables. This organic, irregular-shaped table consists of three unique flatpack parts that key into each other. A key feature of this table is the dramatic curve of part of the base.
