Cassina 'Sengu Round Marble Low Table'—Urquiola's 2020 work translating the language of sofas into a table
A table that designs the center of the living room 'low'
The low table fills the space in front of a sofa, but it is also a 'reference point' that determines the flow of movement and the eye level. Cassina's Sengu Round Marble Low Table brings together a marble base and wooden top with clear contrast, organizing the model so that structure comes before decoration. The simple composition created by the circular top, vertical support, and weighty base anchors the center of the space.
How Cassina approaches 'contemporary'
Cassina is known as a brand strong in reproduction of modern design, but it prioritizes 'structural persuasiveness' in collaborations with contemporary designers. The Sengu Low Table is a 2020 product designed by Patricia Urquiola, expanding living room objects within the worldview of the same name as the sofa. The official product page introduces this table as a 'three-height low table collection' configured together with the sofa. Cassina Product Archive Collection Features Trusted Product Page
The starting point of design implied by the name 'Sengu'
Sengu is known as a word referring to the periodic reconstruction ritual of Japanese shrines, and Urquiola interpreted this concept as 'ritual of renewal' and 'repetition of composition' to develop the sofa. The low table brings that narrative in a more concise form, leaning more toward creating atmosphere through 'combination of different materialities' rather than lengthy explanation of the same material. In other words, rather than adding decorative details, it interlocks the plane of wood with the mass of marble, stably anchoring the landscape in front of the sofa.

Points to note in form, structure, and user experience
The circular top has a strong character of 'gathering toward the center' rather than dispersing the gaze, making it a better match with sofas than with lounge chairs. Additionally, because the marble base anchors the center low, even when light objects or trays are placed on it, the landscape doesn't waver. Cassina describes this model as a combination of a wooden panel top and matte brushed marble base, positioning material contrast as the core of the design.

Post-installation impression: The 'quiet contrast' created by walnut and Carrara
Based on customer reviews, delivery was completed on December 1, 2025, and I selected the walnut and Carrara marble combination. With just one round table, the center in front of the sofa becomes distinct, and the warmth of wood and the cool density of marble achieve balance. The size is Ø65 · height 40, which is relatively compact, making it suitable for layouts that provide ample seating without over-sizing the table.
What spaces is this good for?
The Sengu Round Marble Low Table is closer to a reference point for organizing the center of a living room than a 'table for placing many things on.' Next to a light-toned fabric sofa, the marble creates a clear contrast, and on dark wood flooring, the grain of the top and floor connects, adding a calm density. Even in spaces where the eye moves, like lounges or lobbies, the form is not exaggerated, maintaining presence even without placing objects on it.
