Stone and timber are set in deliberate balance here, the marble carrying the surface and the oak grounding it beneath.

Calacatta Viola is an Italian marble quarried in the Carrara region of Tuscany, known to Renaissance Florence as Breccia Medicea, the marble of the Medici. Across a cool white ground run veins of violet, burgundy and plum, drawn with the loose confidence of brushwork rather than the regularity of geology. 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 Calacatta Viola marble and oak lounge 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.

As a Calacatta Viola marble and oak lounge table it settles a space rather than crowding it, at home in front of a sofa. Like every Lebanto piece, the Palm is made to order in Cantù, in the historic heart of Lombardy's furniture district, from a curated material palette of full-slab stone, solid timber, and premium Italian glass.
