At stoneCIRCLE, we are delighted to introduce our latest collaboration with the iconic Montcalm Mayfair hotel, where timeless craftsmanship harmonises with cutting-edge design. As part of the hotel’s revitalisation led by the visionary teams at Studio Mica and Studio Est, we are crafting a statement console table that will grace the reception area—a space that sets the tone for the entire guest experience.

Rain Forest Green marble console table, almost ready to go!

 

The console table is a testament to our mastery of natural stone. It features a sleek, solid top in the exquisite Rain Forest Green marble, supported by three sculptural triangular plinths. This unique stone, sourced for its striking veining and warm green tones, brings an organic vibrancy to the modern, luxurious interior.

 
 

The piece fuses the precision of CNC technology with the indispensable artistry of hand-finishing, guaranteeing a flawless result. Each surface of the marble is meticulously polished to enhance its natural beauty, whilst the clean geometric shape celebrates contemporary design. This harmonious blend of nature and craftsmanship exemplifies our commitment to assisting designers in bringing their boldest visions to life.
