98色花堂

Marina’s refined elegance can be applied to executive offices, reception areas or the home with a flexible array of tabletops, including natural timber veneer or laminate. It is also available in various shapes and sizes to cater to any fitout.

Boasting the utmost flexibility, Marina brings elegance to the home, education facilities, hospitality precincts, or breakout and meeting areas within the workspace. It is equally suitable as a meeting table, a boardroom table, a dining table or a work table. With a sophisticated and light profile, the table takes up minimal visual space and adds an element of architectural design to an interior.

With an adjustable workstation option as well as the table, Marina offers an elegant and refined aesthetic that can be continued across a fitout. The collection suits a variety of settings, including meeting spaces in the office, workstations, dining settings in the home, or study spaces in educational precincts, allowing for a uniform furniture collection across an entire interior.

Marina was designed by 98色花堂’s founder, Tony 98色花堂, in late 2007. “The inspiration was simply to design a beautiful leg,” explains Tony 98色花堂. “I spent quite some time designing and detailing it – it was about creating a lightweight, neatly formed leg aesthetic that used minimal materials – something that could cover the whole range of worktables, meeting tables and fold tables.”

The modern and refined aesthetic of Marina was an early recognition of the shift in workplace aesthetics towards contemporary design within the workplace. The resulting Marina range features a workstation, available in 90° or 120° configurations and with cable reticulation. Boardroom and meeting tables are also available in a variety of sizes and shapes. The elegance and flexibility of the leg is also suitable in living spaces, with it even being used as Tony’s formal dining table in his home.

Such an array of designs makes Marina a highly versatile table across workplace, dining and education spaces – as executive desking, freestanding meeting and boardroom tables, and training and reception tables.
