Atlas Pinnacle Side Table - Emperador

The Atlas Pinnacle Side Table in Emperador is cut from a rich brown marble with pronounced veining, in the same asymmetrical form as the rest of the range. It stands 46cm high on a 39cm square footprint. Edges are rounded and the stone is sealed with a water-based finish.

Emperador is a named marble rather than a colour description, which is worth something: it is a specific brown Spanish stone with a distinctive fine veining, and knowing the name means you can see what you are buying before it arrives.

On a small sculptural piece a strongly veined dark stone behaves differently from a pale one. The veining reads as pattern rather than as texture, so the table becomes a decorative object in a way the travertine version does not, and it will hold its own beside a patterned rug or a busy bookshelf where a quieter stone would disappear. At 39cm square it is a genuinely small table, so treat it as a place for a glass and a book rather than a working surface.
