Evoking a sense of encounter with a primordial realm, Tourain’s Megalith console is an object that feels discovered rather than designed, as if shaped by time, ritual, and geological force. Referencing primitive art, ancient megaliths, and the enduring wonder of Stonehenge, the work carries a quiet monumentality that resonates beyond its scale. Its presence suggests something elemental and enduring, an object rooted in the tension between nature’s unpredictability and humanity’s impulse to order, measure, and build

Handcrafted in Belgium, the work constructed from sculpted oak legs paired with a tabletop composed of in-house cast brass tiles, arranged in a precise geometric grid. The organic, unruly forms of the legs recall stalagmites or eroded stone, while the disciplined brass surface introduces a counterpoint of structure and intention

This interplay between the raw and the refined defines the work. Natural growth is tempered by human craft, creating a balanced composition that feels both ancient and deliberate. At once functional and sculptural, the Megalith Console Table transforms the domestic interior into a site of quiet reverence, echoing the mystery and permanence of monumental stone architecture
