Stone can also be used as part of bespoke furniture, including vanity units, tabletops, shelving, bars and fitted pieces. In this kind of work, the relationship between the stone and the joinery matters just as much as the material itself.

The thickness, finish, weight and edge detail all need to feel right within the design of the piece as a whole. A surface that works beautifully as a kitchen worktop may need a completely different approach when used in furniture, where scale, balance and visual lightness become more important.

These projects often rely on careful coordination, because the stone needs to feel fully integrated rather than simply added on at the end.
