Marina was designed by Schiavello’s founder, Tony Schiavello, in late 2007. “The inspiration was simply to design a beautiful leg,” explains Tony. “I spent quite some time designing and detailing it – it was about creating a lightweight, neatly formed leg aesthetic that used minimal materials – something that could cover the whole range of worktables, meeting tables and fold tables.”
The modern and refined aesthetic of Marina was an early recognition of the shift in workplace aesthetics towards contemporary design. The resulting Marina range features a workstation, available in 90° or 120° configurations and with cable reticulation. Boardroom and folding meeting tables are also available in a variety of sizes and shapes. The elegance and flexibility of the leg is also suitable in living spaces, with it even being used as Tony’s formal dining table in his home.
Such an array of designs makes Marina a highly versatile table across workplace, dining and education spaces – as executive desking, freestanding meeting and boardroom tables, and training and reception tables.
