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

Roman travertine is the stone of ancient Rome, formed in the mineral springs around Tivoli and used across the Colosseum and the colonnades of St Peter's Square. It carries a soft, creamy beige tone, its delicate linear veining and gently layered structure warmer and more understated than the marbles. The oak answers in kind: solid European oak smoked to a near-black brown, its grain still legible beneath the finish, so the travertine and oak read as two tones of a single warmth. Every top is cut from its own block, so no two of these Roman travertine and oak nightstands 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 Roman travertine and oak nightstand it settles a space rather than crowding it, at home beside a bed. Like every Lebanto piece, the Tinos 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.
