His pedestal base encourages visual and physical freedom in any interior, allowing the table to interact seamlessly with its surroundings.</p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--expanded release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/e95eca43-4e92-422b-ac2a-9012e2b470ff/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                    srcset=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/e95eca43-4e92-422b-ac2a-9012e2b470ff/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/ 1x, https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/e95eca43-4e92-422b-ac2a-9012e2b470ff/-/resize/2400x/-/format/auto/ 2x\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"\"\n                id=\"image-e95eca43-4e92-422b-ac2a-9012e2b470ff\"\n                data-id=\"e95eca43-4e92-422b-ac2a-9012e2b470ff\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/e95eca43-4e92-422b-ac2a-9012e2b470ff/-/inline/no/Screenshot+2026-02-11+at+16.11.21.png\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/e95eca43-4e92-422b-ac2a-9012e2b470ff/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Story image\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<blockquote><em>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s vital to keep Knoll&rsquo;s historic collections alive, charged with contemporary energy, capturing the interests and codes of our time.&rdquo;

This quality veneer is distinguished by a highly figured grain pattern with mesmerizing movement that captures the richness of natural wood. Produced with a sustainability mindset, it uses wood remnants, creating a striking yet responsible material choice.</p><p><strong>Emperador Light Marble</strong> is a warm, neutral-toned marble. Its delicate veining and soft tonality pair beautifully with oak and other woods, allowing designers to create cohesive, sleek experiences. Featuring only the highest quality marble, each tabletop is chosen to have favorable working qualities and fewest geological flaws.</p><p><strong>Modern Clay</strong> is a soft-touch laminate made from paper and thermosetting resins. Its self-edge construction gives it the appearance of a solid material, while its ultra-matte, anti-fingerprint finish makes it both modern and durable, perfect for high-use environments.</p><div\n    id='gallery-683aa011-bb9d-4362-b0f6-d34c626a2c2b'\n    class='release-content-gallery release-content-gallery--layout-contained'\n    data-component='chromatic-gallery,image-zoom-popup'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-padding='S'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-thumbnail-size='M'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-captions='data:application/json,true'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-photos='data:application/json;base64,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'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-force-full-width='data:application/json,true'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-expand-icon='data:text/plain;base64,PHN2ZyBjbGFzcz0iaWNvbiBpY29uLWV4cGFuZCI+CiAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICA8dXNlIHhsaW5rOmhyZWY9IiNpY29uLWV4cGFuZCI+PC91c2U+CiAgICAgICAgICAgIDwvc3ZnPg=='\n    data-image-zoom-popup-selector='.chromatic-gallery__photo'\n    data-image-zoom-popup-i18n='data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0='\n    data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-view-event='Story Image View'\n    data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event='Story Image Download'\n    data-image-zoom-popup-placement='content'\n></div><hr />",
