What stone is the Roman Plinth made from?

The Roman Plinth is carved from solid natural travertine quarried near Tivoli, Italy. The same stone supplied the Colosseum. Each piece has block-specific geological variations in colour, veining and texture.

What are the dimensions of the Roman Plinth side table?

32 × 32 × 45 cm (12.6 × 12.6 × 17.7 inches). Weight approximately 55 kg (121 lbs). Custom dimensions available on request.

How is the travertine finished?

The four lateral faces are left raw to reveal the stone's natural geological texture. The top surface is honed to a smooth matte finish for everyday use.

Black marble does not absorb light. It refuses it. The Monolith Basin is carved from Nero Marquina — black marble from the Basque quarries of northern Spain, with white mineral veining that forms under specific tectonic pressure. The white lines are calcium carbonate intrusions. They run without direction or repetition.

The form is a single trumpet pedestal rising from the floor. The basin is carved into the top — not placed on top, not mounted, carved. There is no visible hardware housing in the stone itself. The object is complete before the faucet arrives.

In a white bathroom, the stone reads as absolute. The contrast is not decorative — it is geological. What the walls are made of. What the earth is made of. The difference between them.

A pedestal sink in black marble is not a purchase. It is a decision about what the bathroom is for.
