What's In It For You
A Cut Above
The first step in readying the Nelson Pedestal Table Outdoor was to choose a selection of stone finishes that would be durable and provide a natural complement to the existing design, while also contributing a unique character of their own.
We sourced stones from four North American quarries and named them after their home state: Georgia White Marble, a luminescent stone from the same source that was used to create Daniel Chester French's 1920 sculpture of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial; Georgia Grey Marble, a cloudy grey stone from the same location used in the 2004 renovation of New York's Museum of Modern Art; Wisconsin Black Marble, a unique dark stone speckled with lustrous green and grey veins; and Quebec Graphite Granite, a subtly patterned granite composed of deep hues used to rich effect in Chicago's John Hancock Center.
Once extracted, two centimeter-thick slabs of stone are cut to order with a knife edge derived from Nelson's original design and given an eggshell-like honed finish. Tops and bases are connected with a bolt that runs the length of the column to ensure strength and durability through years of use.
Made to Measure
At 21.5" high, the 17" diameter table is a near perfect side table—whether that's beside the pool or a patio chair. At a height of 16", our 28.5" diameter table makes for a sturdy, low coffee table or complements a reclined chaise longue. With a 21.5" tall pedestal, the wider diameter table is ideal for serving and ably holds its own at the center of a furniture arrangement. Tables of different heights comfortably nest. Select your preferred height, width, powder coat color, and stone, or mix and match from dozens of possible variations.
