The Emerald is built on a strong contrast: a bright, jewel-green agate top over a plain, tapered walnut column. The sintered-stone top shows bands of emerald green around pale crystalline patches, with a gilded line between them, and is framed by a deep antique-brass edge. The column is eight-sided, narrowing toward the top, and finishes at the floor with a thin brass band.
The calm under the colour. The walnut base is deliberately quiet. Its faceted sides catch the light in strips, and the brass band at the foot echoes the top edge. It is a handsome table for a room that already has a lot of pattern on the seats.
Construction. A hollow, veneered or solid walnut column built from eight tapered faces, mitred and glued; slab bonded to a sub-frame fixed to a steel plate inside the column; brass band at the foot, with levelling glides underneath. The column is wide enough for stability but leaves clear space at each seat.
Where it works. Hotel restaurants, London-club-style dining rooms, bars with a green and walnut palette, and any room where the table should be the jewel in a dark scheme. Deep green velvet banquettes make a tonal pairing; cream or blush ones make a sharper one.
Choosing the slab. Agate varies from piece to piece; approve a sample slab and note the acceptable range.
Options. Other stones, timber species and metal tones can be drawn on request.
