Nothing compares to the classic beauty and timeless elegance of a piece of furniture made from natural stone. With an array of beautiful natural colors, and endless design possibilities natural stones have mainly been featured in smaller sized tables. A stone table will compliment almost any décor or design and will never go out of style. It can be designed for a contemporary, modern look as well as traditional, ornate, or even antique.

Although stone is a rather durable material, it needs to be maintained properly and consistently. It requires careful cleaning and regular sealing. Marble, compared to other types of stone, is sensitive to the likes of wine, coffee, soda, and regular cleaners; even a hot or iced glass of water can leave its mark, and therefore needs to be used with a colster.

Here, we have selected 9 coffee tables with unique designs, each featuring natural stones in a creative and elegant way. 

1- Kahawa

The beautiful Kahawa coffee table by Banda is a playful mixture of travertine and burnished brass. It is an extremely simple, yet stunning scuplture that can function as a low table for your living space. It is 1500mm long, 1000mm wide and 300mm high and is made to order. It is part of the Kwanza Collection from Banda Design Studio, a collection of elegant marble featuring bold geometry and audacious materiality.

2- Marble Plinth

Designed by Norm Architects, the MENU Marble Plinth collection of tables is a tribute to the striking beauty of marble. It is a versatile, timeless showpiece with a touch of sophistication and elegance to elevate any space.

The plinth comes in low, tall and cubic models with a variety of stone finishes. The honed surfaces are different in each piece highlighting the beauty of natural stone while providing a contrast with the sharp and clean edges of the table.

All Plinth marble is handcrafted in a small factory in Portugal… The black marble, called Nero Marquina, comes from the north of Spain, while the white marble, known as Carrara, comes from Italy. The new addition of brown grey marble, called Grey Kendzo, is from Iran. All share a low refraction index, so they allow light to penetrate a few millimeters into the surface before shattering, giving the Plinth its aura of vitality.

3- PK61 // PK61A

Designed by Poul Kjaerholm for Fritz Hansen, the PK61 and PK61A coffee tables are an incredibly elementary and minimalistic set that portray the elegance of natural stone in the most simple way possible. The square marble slab sits on a metal base with 4 legs, each machine screwed to the main frame. This removable tabletop shows Kjaerholm’s thought process in using gravity to keep the elements in place in an attempt to maintain the design effortless and honest.

The tabletop is available in grey-brown marble, beige marble, black marble, white marble, granite, and glass, while the frame is satin-brushed stainless steel.

4- Linha

The Linha collection of tables is an elegant take on a minimalistic design approach. Designed by Marcio Kogan of Studio MK27 for Minotti, these coffee tables are precise expressions of fine geometry coupled with carefully worked materials. They feature thin aluminum sides with a varnished golden brown finish and a top in Grigio Orobico or Sahara Noir marble with matt polyester finish.

The coffee tables are part of the Linha Family which also includes a dining table. They can be joined and placed together to create larger surfaces and design variables thanks to their open and closed bridge-like frames.

It is made from a piece of parallel-cut Limestone and 2 pieces of 15mm glass glued together to form an L, acting as an extension to the natural surface of the stone. The sides of the stone piece are left uncut, giving the table a rough character while contrasting the light and transparent nature of the glass floating above it.
