— The piece

On the making of the Marlowe.

The Marlowe began as a study in what to do with the gap beneath a sofa. The plinth — fluted by hand, in eighteen passes — closes that gap without weighting the room. The result is a piece that looks heavier than it is, and lifts the linen-cotton above the floor by exactly seven centimetres so the dust never reaches the cushions.
