Blush tones, rose hues, rust-colored veins, and soft browns move across the surface in layered compositions that shift subtly with the light—earthy, luminous, and full of quiet depth.

Sourced from Mexico, a region celebrated for its exceptional onyx, the table’s tessellated construction showcases a refined approach to natural stone. Its low, monolithic form nods to mid-century modernism, allowing the material to speak for itself—bold, sculptural, and unmistakably one-of-a-kind.

Formed over millions of years in mineral-rich limestone caverns, pink onyx carries a geological presence that’s hard to replicate. Here, that raw history is shaped into a piece that feels at once grounded and elevated—more sculpture than furniture.

The design balances organic modernism with brutalist sensibilities, anchoring a space with warmth and weight. It fits effortlessly into minimalist settings, contemporary homes, or interiors that lean toward the collected and art-driven. See less
