{"product_id":"3","title":"Pyloni Rect — Ebonised Oak \u0026 Natural Wood Column Dining Table","description":"\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThe Pyloni Rect begins with an architectural proposition: what if the legs of a dining table were not legs at all, but columns? And what if those columns were not connected to each other — no apron, no stretcher, no visible lateral element — but simply stood beneath the plateau as independent vertical volumes, each one self-sufficient, each one complete in itself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eEight solid cylinders of ebonised oak rise from the floor in two parallel rows of four. Each cylinder is slightly larger in diameter than a standard table leg — substantive, not delicate — and finished in a deep matte black that absorbs the ambient light rather than reflecting it. At the base of each cylinder, a small disc of natural oak or walnut provides the floor contact point: a warm, pale circle of unfinished wood against the dark shaft above. This detail — twelve to fifteen millimetres of natural grain at the base of each black column — is the table's essential signature. It reads as a seam between the constructed (the ebonised shaft) and the material (the raw wood beneath), and it ensures that from any angle, the base has a visual rhythm that pulses between darkness and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThe plateau is a thin, wide rectangle of ebonised oak — the same material as the columns, but expressed differently. Its edges are slightly tapered downward, so that the table appears thinner than it is. The surface is matte, grain-readable, and absolutely flat. No apron. The underside of the plateau is visible from all seated positions, and it is as resolved as the top: the same matte black, the same grain, the same quality of surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThe Pyloni is the table for the room that is large enough for it. At 300 cm in its standard configuration, it seats twelve comfortably and fourteen with extension chairs at the ends. It belongs in a converted warehouse, a high-ceilinged townhouse dining room, a private members club, or a boutique hospitality space where the table is the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-group-title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Construction\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlateau:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSolid ebonised oak — ammonia-fumed + black pigment oil · matte finish · tapered edge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColumns:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8 solid oak cylinders — ebonised, same process as plateau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColumn base discs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNatural oak or walnut — untreated, showing raw grain contrast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColumn count:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8 — arranged in 2 rows of 4 under the plateau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColumn connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEach column connects independently to plateau underside via concealed threaded rod\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo lateral connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eColumns are structurally independent — no apron, no stretcher, no visible horizontal element\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e L 280 cm × W 110 cm × H 73 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-label\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDesign Style : \u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eCollectible Design \/\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eArchitectural Brutalism\/\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eGallery Object\u003c\/span\u003e \/\u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eLarge-Scale Dining\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-label\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThe Pyloni Rect operates in the territory of gallery furniture and collectible design — the category of objects that are exhibited before they are used, and that continue to function as exhibitions once installed. The base of independent columns references architectural history (the peristyle, the colonnade, the hypostyle hall) without quoting any of it directly. The ebonising refers to a tradition of Japanese and Scandinavian wood treatment while remaining entirely contemporary in its application. The small disc of raw wood at each column's base is the humanising detail — the single element that reminds the viewer that this is wood, that it grew, that it has a grain and a texture beneath the pigment. Without it, the table would read as industrial. With it, it reads as considered. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Ilmarinen","offers":[{"title":"L340 x W110 x H73","offer_id":53594318733639,"sku":null,"price":15000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/8944\/6471\/files\/aAm8cx8jUHGXnEnntzGV8R-1280-80_ee1aa1d8-1c71-45aa-a0b8-66651d148345.png?v=1774878239","url":"https:\/\/www.maisonilmarinen.com\/products\/3","provider":"Maison Ilmarinen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
