Marble console tables hold a singular place in the world of characterful furniture. The most mineral of materials, marble lends every console table a visual density and an architectural presence that few other materials can match. The Cool Republic brings together here a selection of 15 designs chosen for the quality of their veining, the precision of their finishes and the coherence of their lines. Pieces conceived to structure a space as much as to adorn it, also to be discovered in our Console tables department or among the Stone console tables to explore other natural materials.
Marble appears here in a wide palette of origins and tones, from statuary white to deep black marbles, by way of greys veined with warm or cool nuances. The marble tops are paired with a variety of structures, lacquered metal, brushed brass, stained wood, which set the stylistic register of each piece: minimalist, contemporary, or leaning towards the brutalist. Some designs play on apparent lightness, with slender legs contrasting with the mass of the top. Others fully embrace the visual weight of the material, with solid bases flowing on from the top. To round off your exploration, the Metal console tables and the Black console tables offer complementary silhouettes that sit happily alongside marble in the same interior.
The marble console table naturally finds its place in an entrance hall, where it sets the tone of an interior at first glance. It is equally at home in a generous hallway, a living room or a bedroom, set against a wall or behind a sofa. To dress it, a few understated volumes are enough: a ceramic vase, a sculptural object, a table lamp with a slim base. Marble pairs effortlessly with natural wood, raw metal or glass, combinations to be found among the Wooden console tables for varying textures within a single space.
