Set in Stone: Furniture and Accessories with Marble Details
From the Greek word marmaros, meaning “shining stone,” marble is a refined material that has been used in sculpture, architecture, and product design. From home accents to furniture, these ten striking pieces celebrate the elegant, classic material.
The Algedi Marble Side Table from Iacoli & McAllister is a versatile furnishing that carefully balances materials to create a striking accent. Comprised of a Carrera Marble tabletop that is fixed atop a powder-coated or plated steel base, the Algedi can be used in a variety of interior spaces, from living rooms and offices to bedrooms and guest rooms.
The Hialeah Glass Top Coffee Table explores the possibilities of materials. The table is available with two different types of glass—clear and bronze—as well as with solid white oak or luxe Carrera marble within the tabletop. Shown here, the marble and clear glass table also features brass-plated steel and powder-coated aluminum legs.
The Farm Table was created for MatterMade with a nod to its classic American origins. By highlighting only the most essential elements of the iconic farm table, designer Christopher Specce has brought this unequivocally American archetype into the present. The sumptuous marble top elevates the simple table shape.
Handcrafted in Chicago, the Doppio Serving Tray from Felicia Ferrone is a centerpiece, serving board, and tray, all in one elegant design. Comprised of two sides—one in white Carrera marble and the other in black Nero Marquina, the Doppio Serving Tray can be used to present cheeses and charcuterie, showcase candles or flowers, or can be used as a serving tray for cocktails or snacks.
Designed by Giulio Cappellini, the Bong Table is a round coffee or side table that is made of a matte-finished fiberglass. The beautiful piece is almost a perfect sphere—the bottom is slightly truncated so that it rests flat on the floor, and the top is cut to create a flat surface for a stack of magazines, a cocktail, or—in a pinch—a place to sit. With a faux marble finish, this verion of the table has a sculptural quality.
Brooklyn-based industrial design studio Fort Standard has created this sleek Marble Trivet out of cut stone in a simple geometric shape. Described by designers Gregory Buntain and Ian Collings as imbued with a “warm-contemporary aesthetic,” the White Marble Trivet adds sophistication to a kitchen or dining room.
