The Mad Out seating collection from Poliform, designed by Marcel Wanders, is complemented by the namesake series of coffee tables. The lava stone top, in two different shades depending on the very high cooking temperatures, can be decorated with glass powder, creating an interesting contrast between the opaque and shiny surfaces.
