Machard

Design Studio Contromano, 2025

Machard is the result of a precise search for proportions, for an elegant and contemporary table.

Machard is a sculptural table, with an hourglass-shaped metal base that gives it a sense of lightness and elegance. The base is ‘woven’ with taut ropes that partially envelop it, drawing alternating upward and downward rays that create a visual illusion in which the table seems to float. A skilful weave that becomes the distinctive decorative element of the design. The rope work is available in red, green, grey, mud and mélange to match the round top in glass (transparent, smoked or bronzed), marble (all types in the Flou collection) or wood (natural ash, coffee-stained ash, black-stained ash, natural iroko). Machard is also available in an outdoor version.

A close-up highlights the dense, even weave of the Verde 137 rope that characterizes the base of the Machard table. The taut, parallel ropes create a sculptural form with a contemporary aesthetic.

The tabletop of the Machard table, crafted from Lepanto Green marble N056, features deep veins and natural hues of dark green, white, and rust. Two slices of pear rest on a light-colored tray, adding a fresh touch to the arrangement.

The Machard table is set, highlighting the contrast between the polished white Carrara marble N060 and the textured melange rope. The Briscola chair in Linosa 883 completes the kitchen’s refined and bright atmosphere.

A close-up view reveals the craftsmanship of the Machard table’s base, crafted from a dense weave of melange rope that creates a graphic, textured pattern. The raking light highlights the three-dimensionality of the weave.

The Machard table features a wooden top and a base woven from gray rope, accented by a cluster of balls of yarn resting on the surface. The structure, composed of bundles of vertical ropes, highlights the piece’s artisanal craftsmanship, creating a textural balance between the dark wood and the rope’s sturdy weave.
