The Onyx Empire

Maitland-Smith – Onyx tableWhat I saw
Maitland-Smith – Onyx table

Why I like it
Onyx can be the most dramatic of natural materials when paired with under-lighting. It was prominent this year at the International Marmomacc Stone Show in Verona, Italy, creating excitement in furniture and flooring uses.

How to sell it
Stone is the most sophisticated of natural materials, providing luxury and durability. The Empire style is fitting for the most classic rooms, and also can be the contrasting accent in a modern interior.
