A cage of brass rods is all the Drum needs. The top is a soft white stone look with a faint green cloud, edged in a fine matte brass band. Slim brass rods, grouped in clusters at the corners, run from the top frame to a round brass ring on the floor, and between the clusters the sides are left open.
Light, but not flimsy. The rods are fixed to both the frame and the ring, which makes the drum rigid, and because the legs are grouped rather than evenly spaced, the table leaves clear gaps for chairs and knees. From a distance it reads as a drum; up close it is the rods, and their fine finish, that you see.
Construction. Brass or brass-finished steel rod, welded and polished, with a matte colour matched to the edge band. The slab is bonded to a sub-frame and the edge band fitted flush; the floor ring is weighted and fitted with levelling glides. Specify a lacquered finish for hard-working rooms and an unlacquered one where patina is welcome.
Where it works. Tea rooms, champagne bars, afternoon-tea service and small hotel restaurants. It is a good partner for pale velvet banquettes, where the metal supplies the structure.
Options. The same drum is available in bronze or antique brass, with a darker stone top, or with a different rod count.
