Expanding its collection of unconventional furnishings, Maòli teaming up with designer Alessandro Loschiavo has come up with MARABÙ, a side table, possibly inspired by certain wading birds that habitually live along the shores of the great lakes in equatorial Africa. The nature inspired table is made entirely in Mahogany or Rose heartwoods and composed of a flat teardrop-shaped top, two obtuse-angled legs and circular base. The tall legs are substantially equal and are fixed to the top and base with a slight rotation of one with respect to the other. The ‘ornitho-morphic’ table just recalls a wading bird, like the marabou stork, caught as if walking in a pond.
