The pine kitchen table features in numerous photographs shot in the sitting room of Marianne's Paris apartment on Rue D'Anjou. It was at this table that she wrote many of the songs that feature on the albums 'Kissin' Time' (2002), 'Before The Poison' (2004) and 'Horses And High Heels' (2012).
The photographer Maria Mochnaz captured one such songwriting session with PJ Harvey when she stayed with Marianne to work on the songs 'The Mystery Of Love', 'My Friend's Have', 'No Child Of Mine' and 'In The Factory' which were released on one of Marianne's most acclaimed albums 'Before The Poison' in 2004.
This pine table can also be seen in the Nowness video, where Marianne is filmed giving a tour of her Paris apartment, at 1:02.
