Tobi-Ishi Striped Marble

Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby

In its ten years of life, the Tobi-Ishi table has become a true icon of international design. In all its variations, it retains the strongly sculptural feel defined by the three elements that compose it, inspired by the “flying stones” that dot the pools of water in Japanese gardens. This peculiar balance of solidity and lightness also appears in the new limited and numbered edition of only 500 pieces made of strips of white Carrara and green Alpi marble with a very manual and sophisticated crafting technique, which requires slow and skillful processes, making it precious.
