Rhea Occasional Table by Ligne Roset

In reference to Greek mythology, Rhea is the personification of natural forces, goddess of the earth and animals, she was represented living in the depths of the woods, in the mountains. The Rhea occasional table offers a poetic vision inspired by plants and nature. It combines two materials: the solid wood base and the travertine top. The Structure of the base is made of oak with a natural varnish. The top is in open pore travertine, with 2 layers of a waterproofing agent, the edge of the top remains raw (unpolished). The travertine top (limestone rock) has small cavities, enabling to feel a grained and irregular texture to the touch. Its colour reflects light. Travertine is worked and re-cut to form the shape of a leaf.
