The Caribe Chic Basket Table Marble Top is an elegant design by Sebastian Herkner and can be used inside and outdoors. It’s part of our Caribe Chic collection, featuring an intricate hand-woven webbing in contrasting earthy, muted shades. The tabletop comes in three different types of fine Italian marble. The pieces and colors are inspired by the incredible nature of the Colombian Huila region where the serene Tatacoa desert meets the powerful Rio Magdalena. Each table is made in Santa Marta, a city on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, by local craftspeople. They weave the PVC strings, which are made from recycled plastic, around a powder-coated tubular steel frame. The weaving technique the artesanos and artesanas use are called Momposino, a traditional method known for intricate patterns. Just the preparation of all the materials takes ten days, while the production of each table takes two days.
