Published by Tacchini, the Dolmen low tables are simple and primitive, smooth and perfectly polished, solitary or close together, joined thanks to a perfect joint. Available in two sizes, the Dolmen coffee tables, the brainchild of Noé Duchaufour-Lawrence, are made entirely from Breccia Besciana or Fior di Pesco Carsico, marbles that travel only a few kilometres because they are quarried close to where the tables are made, as requested by the French designer. The Dolmen coffee tables bring a sculptural yet natural touch to the living room.
Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance is a designer and interior architect who draws his aesthetic vocabulary from natural, supple, organic, fluid and structured forms. He has a real passion for materials and form, embodied in his dual training: first in metal sculpture at ENSAAMA, then in design at the Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance's creative family background (his father was a sculptor) quickly led him to develop a singular, even unusual aesthetic, starting with the Sketch restaurant in London in 2002. In 2003, he set up his own studio and from then on saw each project as a real opportunity to define his own aesthetic, to create harmonious objects and spaces whose aim is to forge an emotional link with nature. Voted 'Designer of the Year' at Maison & Objet in 2007, his success has continued to grow, with a wide range of projects: from the Fusion lamp for Gaia & Gino, to the Calla armchair designed for Zanotta, as well as more ambitious interior design projects and product designs for prestigious brands such as Air France, Yves Saint Laurent and Paco Rabanne.... In each of his creations, he seeks above all to evoke emotion, particularly through the utility of the shapes and the beauty of the lines.
