The coffee tables Quark series merges the exploration of materials and production techniques to create unique tables.
Librastone small tables, limited edition, rest all their “lightness” on a curved base, balanced on one point. Made in Italy in white Carrara marble or in brown tobacco stone, the point of gravity of Librastone is manipulated through the use of software and algorithms that allow the table to obtain a perfectly horizontal position. The project can be customized in different materials following the same gravity principle.
This is an example of how Emmanuel Babled combines new technologies with traditional craft techniques to get unexpected, almost magical design pieces.
