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.

The top retains its natural edge, as extracted from the quarry. Not dressed. Not trimmed. The live edge is not a style choice — it is the refusal of one.

The slab is natural stone with organic grain — the kind of surface that formed over millions of years and was never intended to be flat. The legs are carved columns of translucent onyx or semi-translucent mineral stone. When daylight passes through onyx, it reveals the internal mineral veining — layers of calcium carbonate compressed into translucency. Each leg is a section of geological history made visible.

No two consoles share the same silhouette. The live edge at the top reads differently in the morning than it does at noon. At a threshold, against a wall, in the entry of a designed interior — the piece occupies the space with the authority of something that was shaped by time, not by a designer's decision.
