This design makes use of the square theme which is repeated in the onyx tops, the

The three original onyx tops are set inside a tubular brass frame. The tubular frame has a square profile
3 cm X 3 cm. The brass framed top also has 2 divisions running in the middle to divide up the onyx and keep the look light.
Running underneath the top there is a decorative level of brass tubing which adds to this sense of lightness and adds reflection. This band of tubing reinforces the stability of the frame.
The legs are are of the same brass tubing. Each leg intersects the frame of the top at which point there is a decorative brass cap finishing the leg. At the bottom of the leg there is a similar square plinth.
