Benjamin Ripple Grand Marble Console - Matt White Marble - Natural Ash

The Benjamin Ripple Grand Marble Console in Natural Ash carries a 20mm-thick Carrara marble top over matching rippled legs. There is 1220mm of clear space between the legs and 660mm of height beneath the top. Overall it measures 151.6cm wide and 80cm high.

The two figures that matter on a console are how much room there is between the legs and how much height there is underneath, and both are published here. Twelve hundred and twenty millimetres between the legs takes a pair of stools or a bench; 660mm of clearance means a dining chair or a basket will slide under without catching.

At 20mm the marble is thick enough to read as stone rather than as a thin facing over board, and the matt resin sealer keeps it from taking on the wet shine of a polished slab. Natural ash beneath white Carrara is a warm-against-cool pairing, and it suits a hallway that gets a lot of natural light, where a dark base would close the space down.
