Marc Newson — Micarta Table
Marc Newson

Micarta Table

Marc Newson's Micarta Table showcases the designer's signature blend of organic form and industrial material, crafted from linen phenolic composite and aluminum. The smooth, tactile surface of the Micarta—a durable laminate formed by compressing linen layers with resin—gives the piece a warm, understated texture that contrasts with the precision of its aluminum elements. The result is a refined object that bridges craft and technology, reflecting Newson's enduring fascination with pushing the boundaries of material and form.
