Emperador Dark is a Spanish marble from the region of Murcia, a deep, even brown threaded with fine veins of white and cream calcite, the warmest and most grounded of the marbles Lebanto works with. The oak answers in kind: solid European oak smoked to a near-black brown, its grain still legible beneath the finish, so the marble and oak read as two tones of a single warmth. Every top is cut from its own block, so no two of these Emperador Dark marble and oak side tables are quite alike.

Underneath, a solid oak base carries the weight. Two boards are set perpendicular and slotted one through the other into an interlocking cross-leg structure, the join shown rather than hidden, so the craft of the piece and the support of it are one and the same.

Low in its demands and clear in its intent, the Emperador Dark marble and oak side table sits beside a sofa or a favourite chair without asking for attention. The Sherman is an Italian side table made to order in Cantù, in Lombardy's long-established furniture district, drawn from full-slab stone, solid timber, and premium Italian glass. See less
