Forma Patagonia Quartzite Dining Table — Faceted Stone Pedestals

Patagonia is a Brazilian quartzite — a metamorphic rock that is significantly harder and denser than marble. Unlike marble, quartzite is highly resistant to etching from acidic foods and drinks, which makes it a more practical choice for a dining table surface used daily. The dramatic patterning — large sweeping formations of white, amber, grey and charcoal — is a result of the stone's geological formation and cannot be replicated in any synthetic material. Every slab is completely unique.

The Forma's rectangular top has its four corners cut at an angle — a chamfered profile — which gives the table an octagonal silhouette when viewed from above. This detail serves two purposes: it softens the visual weight of a 2200mm rectangular top, and it echoes the angular faceting of the two stone pedestals below, creating a consistent geometric language across the entire piece.

Both tables are made from Patagonia quartzite but they are entirely different in form and material combination. The Sienna is an oval table on three brushed brass cylinder legs — a mixed material piece that seats up to 12 at 2900mm long. The Forma is a fully stone piece — rectangular with chamfered corners, on two solid faceted quartzite pedestals, seating 8 at 2200mm. Choose the Sienna if you want the stone and brass contrast at a larger scale. Choose the Forma if you want an entirely stone table with architectural geometric detailing.
