Babel Travertine and Mango Wood Curved Console Table | Kaiku

Design and Materials

A travertine top on a solid mango wood base, in a curved, sculptural form.

Travertine is a natural limestone formed in mineral springs, and its defining feature is the pitting — small natural voids running through the stone. Those are characteristic of the material rather than flaws, and they mean every top has different figuring. It is a softer, warmer stone than marble, both in colour and literally in hardness.

Mango wood is a dense hardwood with pronounced grain and considerable natural colour variation between boards. Paired with stone it carries the weight comfortably.

Dimensions and Placement

120cm wide, 40cm deep and 76cm tall, weighing 54kg.

40cm depth keeps it usable in a hallway while giving a proper surface. The curved form means it reads as a piece of furniture in its own right rather than a shelf on legs, so it suits a position where it is seen from the side — the turn of a hallway, or an entryway wall — rather than pushed flat into an alcove.

54kg is substantial for a console. Once it is placed it stays placed, and on a timber floor it is worth checking the feet sit flat before loading the top.

Assembly and Delivery

Requires assembly and ships in two cartons measuring 127 x 47 x 19cm, at 54kg combined.

The flat 19cm carton depth is helpful — it will pass through doorways and up stairs far more easily than an assembled console of this weight would. Assemble it in the room where it will stand, since a built 120cm stone-topped table at 54kg is a two-person carry and awkward through a doorway.

Fit the base fully and check it sits level before the travertine top goes on. A stone top on a frame that is out of true puts uneven load on the stone.

Caring for Travertine

Travertine is porous and reactive, and it needs treating differently from a sealed or laminate surface.

Wipe spills promptly, especially anything acidic — wine, citrus, coffee, and household cleaners containing vinegar or lemon. Acid etches limestone, leaving a dull mark in the polish that cannot be wiped away because the surface itself has been altered.

Use a pH-neutral cleaner or plain water on a soft cloth, and use coasters and mats under drinks and plants. A plant pot left standing on untreated travertine will leave a ring.
