Cosmos Side Table Side Table is an innovative furniture piece that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of advanced technology and traditional craftsmanship in contemporary furniture design. Created by OIA Design Studio in Portugal, this sophisticated side table draws inspiration from the concept of cosmic weightlessness, manifesting this ethereal quality through its remarkably thin yet robust construction. The table features an ultra-thin marble top, achieved through cutting-edge stone lamination technology that reduces the typical marble thickness to just 6mm, reinforced with a porcelain layer for a total thickness of 15mm. This revolutionary manufacturing process results in a table that weighs approximately 22 kg, nearly 50% lighter than conventional marble furniture while maintaining exceptional structural integrity. The design, which won an Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, showcases a minimalist aesthetic with a circular top measuring 580mm in diameter and standing at 500mm height. Available in four distinguished marble variations - Carrara, Sahara Noir, Graphite, and Eramosa - each piece features a meticulously crafted half bullnose edge that enhances its visual lightness. The table's development, completed in 2017, represents a significant advancement in stone furniture manufacturing, combining CNC machining precision with expert craftsmanship to create a piece that is both functionally versatile and aesthetically refined. The design's success lies in its ability to transform the traditionally heavy and imposing nature of marble furniture into a light, accessible form that maintains the material's inherent luxury and durability.
