The Mollura Table reignites the timeless elegance of natural stone while redefining luxury through advanced sustainable resin craftsmanship.

At first sight, its surface seems carved from rare rose onyx and gold speckled quartz or terrazzo. The movement patterns flowing organically across the table top and gleaming speckles of the base brings out nature's perfectly imperfect beauty. Yet, this piece is achieved and manufactured through advanced sustainable resin craftsmanship that appears like natural stone.
