Marbera: Master of Contemporary Ceramics
Marbera’s Quiet Drama: A Ceramicist’s Eye, Sculpted in Stone
Marbera has become a touchstone for collectors who crave calm, sculptural design and tactile depth. While many search for “Marbera pottery,” the studio’s signature language transcends clay alone, channeling a ceramicist’s sensitivity into marble, onyx, and wood. The result is furniture and objects that glow with material intelligence—pieces that feel as much like contemporary sculpture as they do everyday companions. At Trove Gallery, we’re honored to share the Marbera collection, a gathered world of refined tables, stools, and vessels made by artisans who work slowly and attentively, finishing each surface until it reads like a hand-drawn line in space.
To collect Marbera is to welcome quiet drama into your rooms. Veins of stone act like brushstrokes; radiused edges soften the weight of marble; a low table gathers light as if it were water. This is the subtle power that has made the Marbera artist circle so beloved among interior designers and design-forward homeowners. If you’re here to buy Marbera with confidence, read on—we’ve curated a deep dive on the studio’s philosophy and featured highlights to help you find pieces that truly resonate.
The Marbera Philosophy: Craft, Character, and Composure
Each Marbera piece begins with material—stone selected for its color story, translucence, and personality. Even within the same quarry, no two slabs are alike; the artisan’s role is to reveal the essence that’s already inside. In this way, Marbera brings a ceramicist’s approach to density and sheen, coaxing life from hard matter rather than imposing a form upon it. Surfaces are honed to a soft luster. Edges are rounded until they feel like river stones in the hand. The finished work carries a living stillness, ready to ground a room without overpowering it.
We often hear collectors describe Marbera as poetic minimalism: the grace of less, held in natural stone. That ethos runs throughout the studio’s furniture and objects—from low, monolithic coffee tables to petite stools that double as sculpture. The Marbera collection at Trove Gallery surfaces that vision across sizes and silhouettes so you can curate a coherent story at home.
If you’re discovering Marbera for the first time, consider the parallels to contemporary ceramics: attention to tactility, balance, and silhouette. Even when you choose an onyx table or marble stool, you’re engaging in the same dialogue collectors have with hand-thrown vessels—an intimacy of surface, proportion, and touch. It’s why searching for “Marbera pottery” will lead you to these stoneworks; the spirit of ceramics is here, captured in a different, luminous medium.
Signature Forms: From Vessel to Table
At the heart of Marbera is a reverence for the vessel: a form that holds, frames, and focuses attention. The studio extends that logic to every object—whether cradling flowers, a morning espresso, or the day’s conversation.
Consider the duo that begins this story: the Gaia Table at $3,156.00 and the Gaia Vase at $1,204.00. Their names nod to origin and earth; their forms, to continuity. The table anchors a room with composed geometry, while the vase offers a vertical counterpoint—an elegant perch for a single branch or a gathered bouquet. Together or apart, they read as a conversation between plane and curve. If you’re building your first Marbera grouping, this pairing teaches you the language of the studio in one glance.
For those who love mineral light, the Clea White Onyx Vase at $844.20 is a quiet marvel. White onyx glows in daylight, catching and diffusing illumination like a lantern. Even empty, Clea becomes a focal point—its pale translucence amplifying the tone of nearby materials, whether warm oak or cool stone. Place Clea on a console, or set it atop a stack of art books to create a gallery vignette—either way, it’s an instant ritual object.
Marbera’s vessels prepare the eye for larger statements: tables that act like sculptures in the round. The studio’s coffee tables are designed to hold presence without overwhelming. They frame a room’s energy the way a good pedestal frames a sculpture—clearing visual space so everything else can breathe.
Coffee Tables that Set the Tone
Few pieces shape the daily experience of a home like a coffee table. Marbera’s low tables balance mass and levity, turning stone into an invitation rather than an obstacle. If you’re exploring where to begin, three distinct paths emerge—each with its own character, each worthy of a modern living room.
The Edoni Coffee Table at $9,459.00 is for the collector who appreciates architectural gravitas. Edoni reads like a reductive sculpture—with weight distributed in thoughtful planes and an emphasis on poise. It’s a piece you feel before you see, a center that calms the room. Pair it with tactile upholstery and an overscaled wool rug, and Edoni becomes the hearth of a contemporary interior.
Modular sensibility defines the Joan series. The Joan Duo Onyx Coffee Table at $8,333.00 draws out the ethereal side of stone—the onyx segments seem to hold light inside their body. For a warmer interpretation, the Joan Duo Wooden Coffee Table at $8,088.00 tempers geometry with organic grain, bridging the Marbera collection’s stone and timber palettes. Prefer singular focus? The Joan Solo Coffee Table at $4,947.00 is an elegant study in proportion, its silhouette pared to essentials for maximum serenity.
When you want a table that feels like a gemstone placed at the room’s center, look to the Drey Onyx Table at $5,741.00. Drey’s profile is understated so the material can take the stage; when afternoon sun filters across the surface, the table reads like a luminous field, animated by natural veining. For smaller spaces or layered compositions, the Rosie Table at $2,166.00 offers a versatile footprint—ideal beside a lounge chair or grouped as nesting surfaces. Rosie brings Marbera’s sculptural clarity to intimate corners.
For storage without visual noise, the Amo Burl Wood Storage Table at $2,599.00 blends function with artistry. Burl wood’s swirling figure is a work of nature’s chance—no two pieces repeat—which makes Amo both practical container and conversation piece. It’s the perfect companion to stone tables, adding warmth and pattern while preserving Marbera’s refined calm.
Stools that Double as Sculpture
Marbera stools are small studies in proportion, and they may be the most versatile objects in the studio’s repertoire. Use them as end tables, pedestals, or extra seating; move them around the room as needed; let them punctuate a space the way a ceramicist might arrange a series of vessels on a shelf.
If you love clarity and contrast, explore the Gabi family. The Gabi Onyx Stool at $2,933.00 is a luminous column with a soft, honed finish—the kind of piece that catches candlelight at dinner. Its sibling, the Gabi Marble Stool at $2,434.00, trades translucence for tactile gravitas, grounding a corner without adding visual weight. For moodier drama, the Gabi Black Antique Marble Stool at $2,746.00 introduces rich, inky tone and nuanced veining—the perfect counterpoint to pale walls or light oak floors.
Curves meet comfort in the Dolce series. The Dolce Onyx Stool at $4,056.00 paints the room with quiet radiance, while the Dolce Marble Stool at $3,682.00 brings the same graceful proportion in a solid stone expression. Think of Dolce as a sculptural exclamation point: compact, confident, and endlessly adaptable.
Those who favor soft geometry will be drawn to the Oggi silhouette. The Oggi Onyx Stool at $3,918.00 is a study in light play—its pale onyx can glow from within during golden hour—while the Oggi Marble Stool at $3,095.00 feels substantial and serene. Both Oggi stools thrive in pairs; flank a fireplace, bracket a sofa, or create balance at each end of a hallway gallery wall.
For the minimalist, the Alfie Marble Stool at $2,434.00 offers assured simplicity: a compact form with carefully tuned proportions. To infuse warmth and iridescence, the Alfie Shell Onyx Stool at $3,058.00 introduces a pearly onyx tone—soft, luminous, and quietly romantic.
If you prefer a signature statement, the Gina Vanilla Onyx Stool at $3,245.00 captures an elevated neutral palette—creamy tones that harmonize with natural linens and clay walls. And for collectors who want a true showpiece, the Bobi Onyx Stool at $5,502.00 is a sculptor’s object: bold presence, refined edges, and a surface that photographs beautifully at every angle.
Styling the Marbera Collection at Home
Designers often describe Marbera as an anchor. To style these pieces well, begin with balance: contrast weight with softness, luminosity with texture, form with negative space. Here are a few guiding ideas to help you live beautifully with your selection.
Curate a central conversation with the Edoni Coffee Table or Joan Duo Onyx Coffee Table. Keep the surface open: a single art book, a ceramic bowl, or the Clea White Onyx Vase with a long branch. Let the stone’s character breathe. When the base is visually calm, even everyday objects feel special.
Layer light. Onyx absorbs and refracts illumination in a uniquely gentle way. Place the Drey Onyx Table near a window or under a dimmable lamp; watch how the surface changes from morning to evening. Pair with a warm fabric shade, and the entire composition softens.
Use stools as punctuation. Set the Oggi Onyx Stool beside a reading chair to hold a teacup; tuck the Gabi Marble Stool under a console as a ready perch; frame a fireplace with twin Dolce Marble Stools for symmetry that’s soft rather than stern. For a gentle palette, the Gina Vanilla Onyx Stool brings tone-on-tone cohesion to neutral rooms.
Bridge materials thoughtfully. If your living space leans cool, the Joan Duo Wooden Coffee Table or Amo Burl Wood Storage Table introduces warmth and pattern to balance marble and onyx. Burl wood’s swirls and bird’s-eye figure create natural movement—the ideal counterpart to stone’s long, lyrical veining.
Compose vignettes to human scale. The Gaia Vase or Gaia Table shine when arranged with a personal object—an heirloom box, a favorite art book, a small ceramic cup. Marbera’s restraint invites intimacy; use it to frame items that carry meaning in your life.
Finally, appreciate patina. Honed stone develops character with time; the surface becomes more itself, like a well-loved leather chair or a favorite mug. Beauty, in Marbera’s world, is not static—it’s a relationship you deepen by living with the piece.
Why Collectors Buy Marbera
There are many reasons designers and collectors return to the Marbera artist circle, but three rise to the top.
Material authenticity. In a world of composites and veneers, Marbera works in true stone and wood. The honesty of material is immediately visible—and palpable. When you run a hand across the edge of the Rosie Table or rest a book on the Joan Solo Coffee Table, you feel the difference.
Craft lineage. Even as Marbera embraces a minimal aesthetic, the studio’s patience is maximal. Finishes are meticulously honed; transitions are eased until they feel inevitable. If you’ve ever admired contemporary ceramics for their touch and tuned proportions, you’ll recognize those same values here.
Composed presence. Marbera gives rooms a point of view without shouting. The Gabi Onyx Stool reads like a small column; the Dolce Onyx Stool like a gentle drum; the Edoni Coffee Table like a grounded altar. Each piece supports the life unfolding around it—beautifully, quietly, confidently.

Care, Provenance, and Confidence in Purchase
Marbera’s pieces are designed to live with you for decades. To care for honed stone, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals; and use a coaster or placemat when needed. Patina is part of the story, and with simple care your surfaces will remain calm and cohesive. Wood works benefit from similar attention—gentle care and thoughtful placement away from direct heat or intense sunlight.
Because each table, stool, and vase is shaped from unique natural materials, slight variations in tone and veining are part of the allure. When you order from Trove Gallery, the piece you receive is carefully inspected before shipment; we partner with trusted carriers to ensure safe, secure transit from studio to your home. If you’d like to preview stone characteristics, our concierge team can share detail photography to help you choose with confidence.
Designers sourcing for projects will appreciate that Marbera’s forms scale beautifully. The Joan Duo Onyx Coffee Table and Joan Duo Wooden Coffee Table pair fluidly with layered seating plans, while the Oggi Marble Stool, Alfie Marble Stool, and Gina Vanilla Onyx Stool can be repeated as accents without visual clutter. For collectors, the Clea White Onyx Vase and Gaia Vase offer evergreen gifting opportunities—objects with soul that suit many interiors.
If you’re moving from pottery and ceramic collecting into functional sculpture, Marbera offers a compelling bridge: the same purity of shape and devotion to finish, amplified by the geological poetry of marble, onyx, and burl. Whether you enter through a single stool or invest in a central table, you’re not simply furnishing a room; you’re composing a rhythm of materials and light.
