{"product_id":"16","title":"Tähti Oval — Calacatta Marble \u0026 Polished Chrome Star-Base Dining Table RISQUE DE DMCA","description":"\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThe Tähti Oval belongs to a particular tradition of furniture design: the one that decided, at some point in the mid-twentieth century, that a dining table need not touch the floor in more than one place. A single central column of polished steel rises from a four-branch star base — its arms radiating low and flat, barely clearing the floor — and meets the underside of the plateau at a single, resolved point. Above that point, a wide oval of Calacatta marble: white, luminous, its grey veining moving across the surface in loose, unhurried arcs. The two materials do not touch each other anywhere else. The margin between stone and floor is entirely open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThe effect — and it is a conscious effect, not an accident — is weightlessness. A slab of stone that weighs over a hundred kilograms appears to levitate. The chrome base does not support the marble so much as it suspends it, the polished steel column catching the room's light and dissolving into reflection. Viewed from across the room, the table is pure plateau and pure light, the base almost invisible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Tähti is the most formally resolved piece in the Maison Ilmarinen collection. It makes no concessions, requests no tolerance, and asks nothing of the interior it inhabits except that it be worthy of it. It belongs in the dining rooms of the architecturally rigorous — the all-white room with a single artwork, the glass-walled penthouse where the view does the decorating, the hospitality space where the brief was \"nothing superfluous.\" It seats six to ten guests, depending on diameter, and the marble selection determines the room's mood entirely.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-group-title\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials :\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eTabletop:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eNatural marble — single slab, honed finish (matte) or polished (high-gloss)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBase column:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSolid polished chrome steel — cylindrical, mirror finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eStar base:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCast steel — four branches, chrome plated, low-profile floor clearance\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlate edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBullnose — gently rounded perimeter, uniform profile\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eTop-to-base connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eConcealed threaded rod — zero visible hardware on top surface\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDimensions : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e200 x 121 x73cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-label\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDesign Style : \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eModernist Classic\u003c\/span\u003e \/\u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eInstitutional Luxury\u003c\/span\u003e \/\u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eMid-Century Revisited\/\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eArchitectural Dining\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-label\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThe Tähti Oval draws from the post-war American modernist tradition that treated the dining table as a problem of pure resolution — the minimum structure needed to hold a maximum surface. The four-branch star base, the single column, the overhung oval plateau: these are solutions to an engineering brief that happen to constitute a design. The chrome finish places it in a specific moment — the late 1950s to early 1970s, when polished steel was the material of institutional progress — now reinterpreted with premium natural marble that adds warmth and uniqueness to a grammar that might otherwise read as cold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Maison Ilmarinen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53593528762695,"sku":null,"price":6200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/8944\/6471\/files\/original_8.avif?v=1774530639","url":"https:\/\/www.maisonilmarinen.com\/products\/16","provider":"Maison Ilmarinen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
