CARVE A generous marble-topped table with a carved rim on a solid wood base with turned legs. Based on the traditional three-legged table found throughout Wales as a solution to uneven slate floors, Carve is a modern interpretation of a classic archetype. The range of tables embodies a seductive combination of high-quality natural materials and detailed production techniques. The natural character of marble provides a unique pattern to each table. When combined with a variety of wood options, this creates a product with its own distinct story, feel and personality. Carve is available in various size and base options and can work as either a side, coffee, bedside or lamp table. Tops are available in white, grey and black marble or solid oak and walnut. The base is offered in solid oak or walnut. Bespoke marble options are available upon request. 7

BROGUE An elegant leather-topped, solid wood table featuring intricate waxthread stitched brogue detailing. Traditionally used in shoe production, brogueing is an instantly recognisable detail that resonates with our passion for intricate craftbased techniques. The tables are produced using high-quality top grain leather, which has been treated to give a durable finish. As with the best upholstery, the table will age with use creating a piece of furniture that develops its own individual personality, thus becoming a future heirloom. Brogue is available in a range of size and base options and can work as a side, coffee, bedside or lamp table. Finishes include white or tan leather with oak or walnut bases. Bespoke leather options are available upon request. 23
