Why You Should Consider Marble Coffee Tables Right Now

Pinzoni notes that while they use a wide variety of stones, colors, and shapes, the preference lends to black Marquina and white Carrara, often combined. “We are always exploring new ideas, for instance, we recently used a beautiful Brazilian Azul Macauba marble combined with white Sivec, marble and the result was spectacular,” says Pinzoni.
The studio experiments with new shapes, keeping them linear but also more organic. Additionally, new design concepts are created by different ways of wedging marble together or used separately.
That uniqueness is a selling point for many. Nest Casa tends to custom-design their marble coffee tables to suit the clients’ needs and tastes and to further enhance the one-of-a-kind aspect.
She recommends several considerations to think about before ordering, such as location to be placed. “If the choice of the shape and the stone creates a particularly heavy piece, we need to make sure that the floor can support the weight,” she says.
Furthermore, If the coffee table is designed for an outdoor space, the finish needs to be compatible with the weather conditions.
Pinzoni feels the versatility and classic nature of marble allow a marble coffee table to be styled in various décor. The recent revival of the Seventies and Eighties designs has signaled a preference for linear shapes. “This style is perfect for a very modern, contemporary architectural setting,” she says. “Design and fashion are often following the same trends.”
Notably, in the US market, there tends to be a preference for neutral colors, especially black and white. When it comes to the sofa a marble coffee table will complement, the sky’s the limit. “It’s our job to find the perfect match in terms of colors/stones and shapes,” says Pinzoni. In terms of shapes, they can start with a classic square marble coffee table style and can then range from rectangle, circle or even a triangle for example.
