Description
The Iota is a compact accent table with a 26cm disc of green onyx stone set on an antique brass C-frame base. The onyx top is cut from natural stone showing soft green tones with mineral banding and translucent sections where light passes through the thinner veining. The C-shaped base allows the table to tuck under a sofa arm or chair edge, bringing the stone surface close to a seated user.
Designed for use as a drinks perch next to armchairs, a bedside surface in narrow spaces, or a side table for books and phones in living rooms, the 59cm height sits comfortably at arm level when seated. The open C-frame keeps a visual lightness despite the stone top, and the narrow 26cm footprint means the table fits into corner positions and tight gaps between furniture pieces. The base slides under most sofas, chairs and beds, positioning the top over the seat or mattress edge.
Each onyx disc differs in its green tone, mineral pattern and translucency depending on the section of stone it was cut from. The brass frame is finished in an antique patina that softens the metal tone and pairs with warm wood furniture and both neutral and darker upholstery. The stone surface is cool to the touch and non-porous when sealed, making it suitable for drinks glasses if coasters are used to avoid moisture pooling on the natural veining.
The table weighs 3.75kg with most of the mass in the stone top, giving stability when positioned correctly. The C-frame design means weight distribution depends on the base sitting flat on the floor — avoid placing on thick rugs or uneven surfaces where the frame cannot make full contact.

Frequently Asked
Does the onyx vary between pieces?
Yes. Each top is cut from natural green onyx, so the mineral banding, green tone intensity and translucent sections differ between individual tables. This is a feature of the natural material, not a defect.
Can I use it as a bedside table?
Yes. The 59cm height sits at typical mattress level and the C-frame slides under most bed frames, positioning the top over the mattress edge for easy reach. The 26cm disc is large enough for a phone, book and small lamp.
How is the onyx cleaned?
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth. For spills, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water and dry immediately. Onyx is softer than granite and can be etched by acidic liquids (wine, citrus juice), so use coasters under drinks glasses.
Is the base stable on rugs?
The C-frame base requires a flat, level surface to distribute the 3.75kg weight correctly. On thick or shag rugs the frame may tilt, reducing stability. Short-pile rugs are acceptable if the frame sits flat.
