Mary's Side Table, crafted in solid hardwood with a marble top, is substantial yet delicate, sculptural yet highly functional. It was inspired by a visit to the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in San Francisco; Matthew Hilton was moved by the contrast of the oppressive weight of the concrete structure and the release of the swooping, expansive space within. Mary's Side Table captures this paradox of weight and weightlessness.

Matthew Hilton is an esteemed British designer whose eponymous product line expresses the technical knowledge and clarity of vision gained over four decades in the industry. Utilising robust materials that improve with the mark of age, Matthew Hilton creates timelessly beautiful, exceedingly functional products that are rigorously engineered. Every view of a design is valued equally, every aspect carefully considered, allowing for a sense of appreciation over time as new details are discovered.
“If you live with something, you might pick it up and look at the bottom. So the bottom of it is equally important. Every aspect is important because it is something that is going to stay in your life,” Matthew Hilton.
Solid wood is an expression of the life of a tree, grown for at least 30 years, and the weather patterns it experienced, the absorption of sunshine and minerals. The tree is imbued with meaning, and this meaning is transferred to the piece of furniture it becomes.
Our planks are cut in a way that honours the growth rings and grain, making them clearly visible.

BLACK MARQUINA MARBLE

NOTE: When used in large planar applications, such as the top of a dining table, our Ataija Creme limestone will display more prominently the natural grain variations and other small marks such as fissures that lend each piece individuality and character. Fissures are naturally occurring in our limestone and are filled in production with a clear epoxy resin to restore the stone's tensile strength while retaining the character of the mark.
