Product Introduction
Splitting a coffee table into two pieces is a handling decision before it is a design one: a single 1300 mm travertine top is a three-person lift on a hotel landing and will not go through a service lift on its side, while two pieces of roughly half the weight each can be carried in and either set together as one long surface or drawn apart as two side tables. The modular set here runs on that logic, with the two tops cut from one block group and the legs machined as interlocking cylinders that register on each other rather than merely standing next to each other.
Silver grey travertine is calcium carbonate in sedimentary, banded form, laid down by mineral springs and drawn from primary beds in Turkey; it is anisotropic: the bedding that gives the stone its linear figure also gives it a direction, so the same block splits and carries load differently along the bed than across it. That property is what makes a two-piece set harder to get right than a single top, and it is why bedding orientation is fixed across both pieces rather than decided piece by piece.
Products Description
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Material and Trade Names | Silver grey travertine; also quoted as Silver Wave, Turkish Grey Travertine, Claros Silver, Italian Grey Travertine |
| Appearance and Bedding | Cool grey-silver field crossed by darker horizontal striations; bedding is directional and reads differently along and across the block |
| Rock Type / Petrography | Sedimentary calcium carbonate in banded form, laid down by mineral springs; natural voids and linear bedding planes throughout |
| Block Origin | Turkey (first-choice blocks, processed to order); no travertine quarry is owned by us |
| Set Configuration | Two tops with interlocking cylinder legs; supplied as one set, usable joined as a single surface or separated as two side tables |
| Standard Sizes | 900 x 500 mm, 1100 x 550 mm, 1200 x 600 mm per piece, in two-piece sets; single units and custom dimensions to drawing |
| Top Thickness | 18 mm and 20 mm solid, with mitred 45-degree laminated edges for a thicker read; 30 mm available on request |
| Leg and Base | Interlocking solid travertine cylinders, 250-400 mm dia; plinth block or mitered box base alternatives |
| Pore Treatment | Resin-filled (epoxy with travertine dust), cement-filled, or unfilled natural face; sealed with a penetrating impregnator at the works |
| Surface Finish | Honed matte at 15-20 degrees of gloss, brushed, antique, or polished; honing is the default for a tactile top |
| Density | 2.35-2.55 g/cm³; 2.45 g/cm³ recorded for this selection |
| Water Absorption | 0.6-2.0% unfilled; 0.8% or below when resin-filled and polished (ASTM C97 basis) |
| Compressive Strength | 55-95 MPa dry; 102 MPa recorded on a denser selection |
| Flexural Strength | 8.5-13.0 MPa; 11.2 MPa recorded on this selection |
| Mohs Hardness | 3.0-4.0, calcite base; softer than granite and it will take a scratch from a dragged metal object |
| Acid Resistance and Sealing | Low: citrus, wine, vinegar and cola etch the calcite. Penetrating sealer at fabrication, resealed every 12-18 months |
| Machining Tolerance | Length and width ±1.0 mm, thickness ±1.0 mm, diagonal ±1.5 mm; interlock bore and spigot matched to ±0.5 mm across the pair |
| Assembly and Fixing | Legs seated on filled bearing faces, dowelled and epoxied with a stainless washer plate and concealed pins to stop lateral slide |
| Packing and Loading | Individually foam-wrapped in fumigated ISPM-15 timber crates, tops protected at the corners; two crates per set where the pieces ship together |
| Payment, Port, MOQ and Lead Time | T/T 30% deposit, 70% against copy of B/L, or L/C at sight; FOB Xiamen, China; MOQ one set; 20-31 days; REACH (EC) 1907/2006 documentation on request |
Products Description
Quality Control & Inspection Standards
Pair Dimension Audit
The two units are measured against each other and not only against the drawing, because an interlock only engages if the bore and the spigot agree across both pieces.
Bedding Across the Pair
Both tops and both leg sets are oriented so the bedding runs the same way, since travertine is anisotropic and a set cut with crossed bedding reads as two different stones and carries load unevenly.
Bearing Faces Filled
Every surface that touches under load is filled and checked flush, because an open void at a contact point crushes under a leg instead of bedding in and leaves the piece rocking.
Set Dry-Assembly
The pair is assembled at the works and photographed twice, once joined as a single surface and once separated as two tables, so the buyer sees both readings before the crates close.

Typical Project & Application Scenarios
Reception and Lounge Groupings
A lounge floor typically repeats one grouping many times, so the set is drawn once and made as a numbered run instead of as one-off pieces, which keeps the travertine reading the same across forty rooms. The two-piece format is what makes the specification practical: each piece clears a service lift and a corridor turn, and one pair can be re-arranged per room without special handling.
Honed matte at 15 to 20 degrees is the finish quoted for these rooms, because a matte face is quiet under hand and less slippery than polished stone where a guest sets a glass down. REACH declarations are issued with the shipping papers for European programmes.
Villa Living Rooms and Show Apartments
In a residence or a show apartment the set is the anchor of the seating group, and it is normally specified alongside the console and side tables so the whole room comes off one block group and one bedding direction. The honed finish and the filled pore treatment are the two choices a client is asked to make, since filling closes the pitted face for daily cleaning while leaving it open keeps the rustic read and lowers the cost per square metre.
Because the set separates, the same pair works in a large room as one long surface and in a smaller one as two separate tables. Care is quoted with the set rather than after delivery, and on calcite that means blotting an acid spill in the first minute and resealing on a yearly cycle.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you keep the two pieces of a travertine coffee table set consistent?
+
-
One block group supplies both tops, the bedding is aligned across them, and the pair is dry-assembled at the works and photographed joined and separated. Pieces are numbered against the layout. A replacement later is drawn from the same group.
Is travertine suitable for a coffee table that gets daily use?
+
-
It is, with the voids filled and the face sealed, because filling closes the pitting that would otherwise trap spills. Two cautions belong on the record: calcite is etched by acid, so wine and citrus need blotting rather than wiping, and Mohs 3.5 to 4 means a dragged metal object will mark it.
How do filled and unfilled travertine furniture differ in use?
+
-
Filled travertine has the voids closed with resin or with cement and stone dust, then honed flat, which cleans easily and holds an even surface. Unfilled keeps the open pitted face and the rustic read at a lower cost. Filled, honed stock is what we recommend for a top in daily use.
How much does a two-piece travertine coffee table weigh, and why two pieces?
+
-
At 2.45 g/cm³ a 20 mm top runs about 49 kg per square metre, so a large single top becomes a three-person lift that will not clear a service lift. Splitting the set keeps each piece manageable for an installation crew and still allows the two to be used as one surface.
How are travertine coffee table sets packed for sea freight?
+
-
Each piece is foam-wrapped and crated in fumigated ISPM-15 timber, with corner protection on the tops and the legs crated alongside. Travertine is light enough that these sets usually reach the container's cubic limit first. Set aside around 2% for transit damage.
