Rumors
Architonic ID: 20739053
Year of Launch: 2021
A chart-topping collection of songs and a furniture set that defies convention, both share an intriguing name and an unwavering commitment to pursuing individual creativity.
The materials are the real protagonists of the Rumors coffee tables, with marble tops. This extraordinary stone—at once exuberant, precious, eclectic, captivating and theatrical—requires a particular sensibility in design. In each piece, three metal blades support the top from below, and cross it with clean and precise cuts, which interrupt the variegated marble veins of the rounded surface, creating contrasts, explicit and implicit, between the organic and natural lines and the rational and geometric ones.
Rumors draws from these artfully conceived contrasts, and presents itself simultaneously as a sophisticated piece of furniture and a real gem of astonishing refinement. It is the same “crystal vision” Stevie Nicks sang about in the eternal song “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac. The cross-play between the thin graphic lines of the surfaces and the marked and robust stone slabs creates a new and unexpected vocabulary refined design, applied to these unique and unrepeatable pieces.
Concept
Rumors is a coffee table with an unconventional, eccentric and exuberant design. The simple, linear forms are made captivating and scenic by the particular finishes of the top. Marble is the protagonist of this particular coffee table, in fact the unusual colours make Rumors contemporary, perfect to embellish any space.
