Made by Desalto

Marc Krusin's Clay table begins with a single question: how little support does a surface truly need? The result is a composition of two volumes, top and base, held in quiet, deliberate tension. The balance feels daring, yet the presence it commands in a room is never aggressive.

For Desalto, whose technical research continuously pushes the boundary between material and form, the Clay table represents a meaningful outcome. The MDF top receives a coating of special lava stone pastes, applied by broad knife in a process that recalls the slow, geological logic of its namesake material. The surface reads as both raw and refined, textured yet composed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials is the Desalto Clay table made from?

The Clay table is available with an MDF top finished in a special lava stone paste, applied by broad knife to create a textured, naturalistic surface. The construction reflects Desalto's ongoing technical research into innovative surface treatments.

Who designed the Clay table for Desalto?

Clay was designed by Marc Krusin, a UK-based designer known for work that prioritizes proportion and structural precision. His collaboration with Desalto produced a form that challenges conventional assumptions about support and balance in furniture.

How does the Clay table's base support the top?

The design deliberately minimizes the contact surface between base and top, creating a visual tension that makes the table appear to rest with almost no support. This is achieved through careful engineering rather than visual trickery.

Is the Desalto Clay table suitable for use as a dining table?

Yes. The Clay table is sized and structured for use as a dining table, and its sculptural presence makes it as relevant in a formal dining setting as in an open-plan living environment.

Is the Clay table made to order?

Yes, the Clay table is a made-to-order piece. Lead times should be confirmed at the time of purchase, as production is initiated upon order.
