More About Fill the Gap Coffee Table
The table was designed to break the cold aspect of marble and bring an extra element, chosen by the user, who is invited to fill the gap with what is most important to him. It can be with books, flowers, with personal objects. With a contemporary and minimalist design but without leaving the emotion behind the designer always applies to her products. It shouldn't be forgotten that marble is a natural stone but is not always associated with nature and for this reason the designer used some flowers on it, enhancing this warm and natural look.
