One of the most impressive elements of WallGoldfinger's Summit tilt-top tables is that they are reconfigurable and yet still capable of supporting lightweight stone. These highly customized Summits soon leaving the factory are a stunning example of the beauty of stone on a Summit.
Created with royal brown marble, or dior di bosco, from Turkey, these gorgeous 60- by 60-inch Summits feature brushed statuary bronze clad bases, hatch lids and custom applied edging. The edging is unique because it not affixed to the table edge with adhesive, but actually goes under the table edge and is screwed on (see the bottom image). In this custom case, the seam between the stone and bronze edge is then carefully filled with a black caulk.
Summits are tables with tops that tilt and casters that extend, so they can be easily reconfigured and pushed through doorways to different meeting rooms or a storage room. Lower the tops and the casters automatically retract for a safe and secure meeting surface.
WallGoldfinger has been creating Summits for years with veneer, glass and, yes, stone, tops.
Summits are meant for conference rooms or even dining rooms and are certainly more than elegant enough for the boardroom.
These Summits on their way to New York City are the ultimate in elegance. In all, the client ordered 62. They will be arranged in a variety of configurations but primarily as a massive, long table for large meetings.
We sure hope those sitting at the table can concentrate, because this stone is all but impossible to ignore.
