The Marcel 148 is characterized by:
Elongated rectangular form - The 148 cm width gives it a notably horizontal, low-profile presence.
Chromed steel rod construction - Both upper and lower frames are made from bent chromed tubular steel in continuous pieces.
Transparent glass top - Maintains visual lightness and showcases the geometric steel structure beneath.
Minimalist aesthetic - Inspired by Mies van der Rohe's reductive approach with clean, abstract lines.
Very low height - At just 32 cm tall, it's an exceptionally low coffee table, emphasizing its horizontal emphasis.
The "148" in the model name refers to its 148 cm width. This table exemplifies Takahama's signature fusion of Japanese minimalism with Western modernist principles, creating furniture that is both structurally elegant and functionally refined.
