The Monolith Plinth is a fascinating typology of furniture – one that lies between object and furniture, between sculpture and pedestal. This plinth elegantly brings out the beauty of wood, via construction without glue, and being held together by hidden dowels and coiled paper cord within a recess. The result is a clean, monolithic form with a beautiful combination of two tactile materials. Versatile in its function, the Monolith can be used as a side table, to place decorative objects or as a standalone sculptural piece.
