Grand, elegant, and unique would suffice. How do these beautiful, marble-carved pieces come to be? We asked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lagu.shop\/en\/our-story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LAGU<\/a>. The best way to describe the Istanbul-based brand is classical, timeless, and romantic. The Founder and Designer, Ufuk Ceylan, feels the same. Aiming to rejuvenate styles of the past and bring one\u2019s eye to even the smallest details, Ufuk truly has a craft for his work. Revamping the design world with his eye for fine art, Ufuk sees the beauty in industrial materials like marble and stone, mixing in softer elements to elevate his pieces.\u00a0Marble tables are just one of their impeccable design pieces.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"textAlign\":\"center\"} -->\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">The contemporary, full-of-life designs that they bring to the table inspire houses and rooms to be so much more.<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>They are invigorated with LAGU\u2019s pieces, turning heads and becoming homes and safe-spaces for all who enter.

We sat down with the lovely representatives of LAGU, and had our questions (and marble table dreams) answered.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong><em>What is marble?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>They are natural stones formed by the exposure of underground limestone to heat and pressure. The iron oxides, sand and mineral deposits in it give the marble color and curves that create a dramatic effect. Therefore, each marble is unique and special. In addition, marbles are generally named according to the region where they are mined. The most popular countries where marble is mined are Italy and Greece. The most preferred marbles are usually Calacatta, Carrara, Emperador and Alexander Black.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:image {\"width\":672,\"height\":442} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_10900\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10900\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wescover.com\/p\/tables-by-lagu-at-creators-studio--Pry3B9udHY\"><img width=\"500\" height=\"329\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-8709 wp-image-10900\" src=\"https:\/\/rs.wescover.com\/images\/w_500,h_329,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679653378\/blog-content\/iqg6j2ej9mvzg826ppq6_109003f2a1\/iqg6j2ej9mvzg826ppq6_109003f2a1.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"\" data-public-id=\"blog-content\/iqg6j2ej9mvzg826ppq6_109003f2a1\/iqg6j2ej9mvzg826ppq6_109003f2a1.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1679653378\" data-seo=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10900\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wescover.com\/p\/tables-by-lagu-at-creators-studio--Pry3B9udHY\">Famed Coffee Table<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><em><strong>What kinds of marble do you use when making these tables?<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The Recalled Table was produced as travertine marble, calacatta marble, and alexander black marble.
