As the material of choice for ancient Greek and Roman sculptors, marble has always been a symbol of tradition and refined taste.
So it’s no surprise it features as a key element in a host of modern classics, such as Achille Castiglione’s 1962 Arco Lamp for Flos, and the 1956 Tulip Table by Eero Saarinen for Knoll.
The beauty of these pieces is that they transcend fashion and work in any interior environment, from formal dining rooms to contemporary living spaces’ says Justin Pratt, MD of Knoll Europe. ‘Plus, the marble elements are more durable than veneer or laminate, so perfect for day use.’*
Both the Arco Floor Lamp and the Tulip Table are available to purchase from our new look Online Store at www.chaplinsstore.co.uk
