Strata Walnut Round Coffee Table

The Strata Round Coffee Table brings the same stone-and-walnut material logic of the Strata dining table into the living room - a travertine sintered stone top carried by three flat-panel walnut slab legs joined at the centre by a slender solid carbon steel pin. At 80cm across and 34.6cm tall, it is sized for a standard three-seater sofa arrangement and scaled to hold its own without overwhelming the space around it.

The Top: Travertine Sintered Stone

The circular top is travertine sintered stone — the same warm, linearly veined surface used across the Strata dining table. Sintered stone is produced under extreme heat and pressure from natural minerals, producing a surface harder than granite that is fully non-porous, heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, and stain-proof.

It does not need coasters. It does not react to a warm mug, a cold glass, or a spilled drink. It cleans with a damp cloth and looks the same in ten years as it does today. For a coffee table — a surface that sees more casual daily contact than almost any other piece in the home — these properties are not luxuries. They are the correct specification.

The round format is a considered choice for the living room context. Circular tables eliminate sharp corners in circulation paths, work equally well approached from any angle, and create a more relaxed visual geometry than rectangular alternatives within a sofa arrangement.

The Frame: Augite Substrate

Between the sintered stone face and the walnut exterior, the tabletop frame and internal skeleton are constructed from augite — a stable African hardwood used in premium stone-top furniture for its dimensional consistency and resistance to warping. It is the structural layer that keeps the stone flat, the frame true, and the whole assembly rigid over years of use. You will never see it. It is doing its job correctly.

The Base: Three Walnut Slabs, One Carbon Steel Pin

Where most coffee tables use four legs or a central pedestal, the Strata uses three flat-panel walnut slab legs arranged in a tripod formation — a structural geometry that is inherently stable on any floor surface and visually lighter than a four-leg arrangement at the same scale.

Each leg is a flat slab in FAS-grade North American black walnut, profiled to match the slab legs of the Strata dining table. The grain runs vertically, the edges are clean, and the base sits flush to the floor without visible hardware.

At the centre, where the three legs converge, a slender solid carbon steel pin in a warm bronze finish connects and steadies the assembly — a structural member doing real load-bearing work, not a decorative afterthought. It is the smallest detail on the piece and the one that gives the base its identity: a warm metallic accent that bridges the cool stone above and the dark walnut below, and introduces a material note that neither material could provide on its own.

Finish: Clear Lacquer + Plant-Based Wax Oil

The walnut base is finished with a combination of eco-friendly clear lacquer and natural plant-based wax oil — a two-stage system that seals the wood against moisture and daily contact while remaining low in VOCs and safe for homes with children. The finish preserves the natural warmth and grain character of the walnut without adding a plasticky sheen, and the wax oil layer gives the surface a depth and tactility that lacquer alone cannot achieve.

Practical Details for Singapore Homes

At 34.6cm tall, the round coffee table sits at standard height relative to most three-seater sofas — reachable from a seated position without leaning. The 80cm diameter is generous enough for a full coffee table arrangement (drinks, books, a candle, a tray) without extending beyond the footprint of a standard sofa.

The sintered stone tops handle Singapore's humidity without any reaction. They will not absorb moisture, develop rings, or require seasonal treatment. The augite frame and walnut base are stable hardwoods that perform consistently in high-humidity indoor environments.

Specifications

Measurements may vary ±1–3cm. Travertine pattern is a sintered stone print — each top will have slight natural variation in veining.
