| But first here comes the history... From Ancient Times to Modern Design Marble; The very name conjures images of grandeur, timeless elegance, and artistry. From the awe-inspiring statues of ancient Greece to the opulent palaces of Europe, this metamorphic rock has captivated humanity for millennia. But what exactly is marble, and how does it find its way into our lives today? |

| And now the science... A Metamorphosis of Stone Marble isn't a singular stone, but rather a result of intense heat and pressure transforming limestone or dolomite. This metamorphosis creates a crystalline structure, giving marble its characteristic veined patterns and a luxurious sheen when polished. The presence of minerals like iron oxide or mica within the original rock leads to the vast variations in colour and vein patterns we see in different marble types. Who knew imperfections could be so beautiful, this is an important lesson from nature we can all apply in our daily lives. |

| Let's get into it!... Luxury isn't just about price tags and marble isn't just a material, it's a design statement!. It's about creating an atmosphere that elevates the everyday. Here's how to style your coffee tables, side tables, and table lamps to evoke the grandeur of timeless design: |
| The Coffee Table: Curated Cool Material Matters: Marble's the star here. Opt for the Stephanie Marble Table with its clean white veins or the dramatic Edgar or Charles Marble Table with bold black and smokey grey veins. The subtle variations in each piece ensure yours is truly one-of-a-kind. Layering for Luxury: Keep it simple and sophisticated. A sleek rattan tray creates a base, while a curated selection of coffee table books with beautiful covers adds a touch of personality. Sculptural Statements: A single, statement piece lets the marble shine. A unique sculptural candle holder adds a touch of artistic interest without overwhelming the space. Fresh Focus: Live greenery brings a touch of the natural world indoors. A low-profile vase in a contrasting material like ceramic allows the plant life to be the star. |
