The Tura Table stands as a testament to the enduring influence of ancient architecture on contemporary design. Drawing from the grandeur of the pyramids, the table’s name and concept pay homage to Tura stone, a material synonymous with resilience and history. This connection is evident in the table’s three monumental bases, which evoke the solidity and timelessness of ancient construction while introducing a modern sensibility to living spaces.
Mai Wahdan’s approach merges the tactile richness of stone with the visual lightness of glass. The table features a seamless glass surface that contrasts elegantly with the rugged, stone-like bases. Each base is meticulously crafted from fiberglass, a material chosen after extensive research for its ability to replicate the texture and appearance of natural stone while significantly reducing weight. This innovation addresses the practical challenges of traditional stone furniture, ensuring both stability and ease of movement.
The realization of the Tura Table involved advanced precision molding techniques, allowing for the creation of bases that are both structurally robust and visually striking. The tempered glass top is securely bonded to the bases using industrial-grade silicone, providing a seamless and durable connection. This thoughtful combination of materials not only enhances the table’s functionality but also ensures its longevity and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for both everyday use and special occasions.
Functionality is at the heart of the Tura Table’s design. The sturdy bases provide unwavering support, while the smooth glass top offers a practical surface for drinks, books, or decorative objects. Rounded edges enhance safety and comfort, making the table an inviting centerpiece for gatherings and conversation. Its minimalist form and elegant proportions allow it to complement a wide range of contemporary interiors, serving as both a functional piece and a work of art.
The Tura Table’s innovative blend of historical inspiration and modern technology has not gone unnoticed. In 2025, the design was honored with the prestigious Golden A' Furniture Design Award, recognizing its outstanding contribution to the fields of art, science, and design. This accolade underscores the table’s status as a trendsetting creation that advances the dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation.
With its fusion of ancient symbolism, cutting-edge materials, and refined craftsmanship, the Tura Table by Mai Wahdan offers a timeless statement for modern living spaces—inviting users to experience the enduring legacy of the pyramids in a new and functional form.
