In an era of fast-paced trend cycles and disposable décor, a quiet revolution is emerging in the form of timeless design - anchored, quite literally, by noble materials like marble and natural stone. These materials speak to a sense of permanence, classical beauty, and environmental consciousness, making them an increasingly popular choice in luxury interiors.
Cape Town-based design studio OKHA, known for its sculptural and soulful furniture, has masterfully harnessed the integrity of stone in its collection of coffee tables, offering pieces that feel both elemental and contemporary. Their MOD ROC, MAGNIFICO, TECTRA, and LAGUNA tables are prime examples of this approach: monolithic yet refined, grounded yet graceful.
Each table is crafted using classically patterned and coloured stone such as Nero Marquina, Carrara, Calacutta an classic travertine - emphasizing a sustainable commitment to longevity in design. "Stone doesn’t go in and out of favour the way other materials do - it evolves," says Adam Court, OKHA’s Creative Director. “There’s a classicism to it that resists obsolescence.”
The MOD ROCK and MAGNIFICO juxtaposes raw texture with refined geometry, while TECTRA and LAGUNA with their smooth undulating silhouette, evoke water-carved rock formations, bringing an organic softness to the mineral medium.
Beyond their visual and tactile appeal, these tables offer a permanence that’s increasingly rare. They are not seasonal acquisitions but heirloom pieces designed to endure - anchoring interiors with their natural elegance and storied character.
In choosing noble materials, OKHA not only celebrates ancient traditions but redefines modern luxury as conscious, enduring, and profoundly human.
Each table is available in several stone options. To discover them visit okha.com.
