No longer reserved for displaying marble busts at historical institutions, plinths have found their way into our homes of late. And RJ Living’s limited-edition range of crimson sandstone styles proves why.
The colourway taps into the trending dark academia aesthetic, a moody take on maximalism that imagines old-money decadence and crumbling gothic libraries. Somewhere Wednesday Addams would feel right at home.
Lean into the gallery-like quality of sleek, squared-off designs and use them to quite literally elevate your mementos. Riff on classic styling, letting vertical pieces bring attention to a gorgeous floral arrangement and singular sculptural forms. Or be more playful in your approach and display something meaningful to you: a framed love letter, collectables and figurines, or perhaps a small shrine to David Bowie.
Tiled pieces have dominated interior trends over the past few years, but it feels like marble is now having a moment. Where we once gravitated towards white veined slabs or galaxy-black granite, it’s richly dramatic hues that are taking centrestage this year. And the moody red, purple and beige shades that swirl through the crimson range promise to bring warmth to living and bedroom spaces, despite their cool touch.
There are four styles to choose from in RJ Living’s latest collection: the Stage plinth, Stage coffee table, Stage low side table and the Mimic side table.
Natural variances in each of the cuts add personality to the pieces, while the matte finish makes them thoroughly modern.
When placed next to your couch, these pieces make the perfect perch for a cup of tea or remote control. Minimalists might even use them as bedside tables, on which a solitary lamp and paperback suffice for nightly needs.
