An object for the house
We wanted a square of slate the picnic could sit around
What the piece is made of, how it takes its place, how to keep it honest, and how it reaches you. Meaning needs a body.

How it reaches you.
Items may arrive in multiple parcels
Pieces already in the UAE may be collected together and leave as one parcel. International partner stock may still travel as separate parcels and arrive on different days.
The fire needed a table of stone. We wanted a square of slate tiles — mesh in the middle, iron legs, a handle on the screen.
A square table about 76 × 76 × 50 cm. Natural slate rim. Mesh screen with a handle. Iron legs. Wood or charcoal.
Hold.
On the fire rail. We celebrate a pit the picnic can sit around. Meaning is the slate rim, not a garden speech.
Set the screen. Sit at the slate.
