In designing the Pierre side tables, Jean-Marie Massaud carries out an in-depth study of the material, exploring the maximum expressive potential of marble and reinterpreting it in a completely original way. In fact, in the three Pierre side tables designed for Poltrona Frau, the top surface is obtained by cutting a sheet of Nero Pagoda marble into tiles of different width which are then turned so that the natural veins of the marble become straight lines running parallel to the longest side of the table.
The effect is highly graphical, modern and stylish, simple on the surface yet requiring consummate expertise in the preparation and assembly of the material. Meanwhile, the Calacatta gold marble finish is obtained from a single sheet and respects the different characteristics of this type of marble. In both versions, an aluminium frame, deceptively straightforward in appearance, showcases the natural beauty of the surface.

Top: In marble, available in the finishes:

Brilliant Calacatta gold marble: The marble top is treated with a transparent polyester finish which makes the surface more resistant, preventing it from absorbing liquids.
Semi-brilliant Calacatta gold marble: The marble top surface is treated with a protective water-repellent solution which gives it a more natural look.
Nero Pagoda marble: The Nero Pagoda marble top is made by combining tesserae of different widths with a continuous staggered vein parallel to the longest side of the top. The glossy finish of the tops is created through a brushing process which gives the stone a more natural appearance, highlighting its characteristic veins.
