mary's side table 385
Design Matthew Hilton
American black walnut, American white oak or European ash, marble
Made in Portugal by De La Espada
Mary's side table, crafted in solid hardwood with a marble top, is substantial yet delicate, sculptural yet highly functional. It was inspired by a visit to the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in San Francisco. Matthew Hilton was moved by the contrast of the oppressive weight of the concrete structure and the release of the swooping, expansive space within. Mary's side table captures this paradox of weight and weightlessness. Designed by Matthew Hilton for his eponymous brand, and manufactured by De La Espada craftsmen.
Matthew Hilton graduated with a degree in Furniture Design from Kingston Polytechnic in 1979. He went on to design products for a variety of well known manufacturers. In 1985 Matthew set up the Matthew Hilton Design Studio. He has also been given the highest honor in the field of Industrial Design in the United Kingdom, by being named a Royal Designer for Industry in 2003. In September 2007, Matthew established his own brand, Matthew Hilton Limited as a place he could have complete creative control. In 2008, he was named Designer of the Year by Elle Decoration at the British Design Awards.
Mary's side table is available in American black walnut, American white oak, or European Ash in a range of finishes; and choice of white Carrara marble, black Negro Marquina marble, rosa negrais marble, and ataija creme limestone. NOTE: The marble top is removable for ease of transport and cleaning.
