Clay

Marc Krusin, 2015

Clay is a sculptural table, a synthesis of beauty and harmonious proportions. Presented at the Salone del Mobile 2015 and winner of prestigious international awards — Iconic Design Award 2015, Good Design Award 2016, and Red Dot Award 2016 in the Product Design category — Clay is born from the encounter of two essential volumes, the top and the base, balanced in a bold and minimal point of contact that transforms stability into a gesture of pure elegance.

Its clean, modern lines make the Clay table a furnishing element that enriches the space with discretion, never appearing excessive. In its new version, with reduced diameters, it becomes a true centerpiece of the environment, transforming and enhancing even the most compact spaces. Its strength and durability ensure a long lifespan, making it a valuable investment for those seeking a product that preserves its beauty and functionality over time.


A new version of the iconic Clay table, designed to perfectly adapt to smaller spaces or the needs of the contract sector. With a reduced top size and a reproportioned structure, this table preserves the elegance and functionality that define the brand, while offering greater versatility in more compact settings. Craftsmanship and design come together to create a piece that combines style and practicality, adding a touch of refinement to any domestic or professional environment. Whether in a small city apartment or a dynamic workspace, this table stands out for its ability to merge aesthetic appeal and functionality without compromise.

The Clay table reveals a warmer and more tactile character in the versions with a wood veneer top.
The Amaranto wood finish expresses all the depth and richness of the material, engaging in a dialogue with the sculptural base through a balance of contrasts and harmonies. The natural grain and subtle nuances of the wood enhance the sensory perception of the table, offering a more domestic and refined interpretation of its essential design. An option that enriches the Clay collection, allowing the table to be customized with a selection of precious wood veneers, creating unique and welcoming spaces.

The Clay table takes on new materials and sensations in the version with a Yellow Travertine marble top.
The natural veining and warm tones of the stone interact with the purity of the forms, giving the table a sculptural and luminous presence. This balance between material strength and visual lightness also finds expression through the many precious marbles available in the collection, each offering a unique interpretation of the Clay design — a dialogue between elegance, naturalness, and individuality.


In the Clay table, two cones of different shapes meet at their opposite vertices, defying gravity in a seemingly delicate yet perfectly balanced composition. In the oval version, this sculptural architecture evolves: the elliptical top and base expand the perception of proportion and introduce a new visual fluidity. A natural evolution of the original design, where the balance between solids and voids, strength and lightness, gives life to a table that turns geometric simplicity into timeless elegance.

The Clay table is also available with a Lazy Susan, an element that enhances its convivial spirit.
Offered either integrated flush with the tabletop or as a freestanding accessory, the Lazy Susan fits seamlessly into the table’s essential geometry, preserving its aesthetic and material continuity.
A functional detail that highlights Clay’s formal balance and broadens its possibilities of use, making every gathering around the table even more fluid and natural.
