’80s Redux: Black Marble

A vintage black marble coffee table, available at Metro Retro Furniture

Today we spotlight an ’80s trend that has found its way back into our design vocabulary: black marble. After the 1980s, many black marble finds were dismissed as the stuff of bachelor pads or Vegas bathrooms. Think again, folks. Today we’ve gathered a range of black marble furnishings to fit a variety of price points. We start high with the 1970s black marble coffee table above, available for $2900 through Metro Retro Furniture. The cylindrical base and marble top give the piece its modern form. She’s a beauty!

Next we have the Boca Dining Table from Nuevo, available at Modern Euro Design Furniture. A stainless steel frame supports the black marble top. This contemporary piece, shown below, is $1359.

We end with a glossy find that is cost effective and eye-catching. The Chunky Marble Effect Coffee Table, also from Furniture in Fashion, is made of wood with a marble-like finish. While faux finishes can easily go awry, this one plays up the dramatic shine that makes the piece so ’80s fabulous! For a mere $140, this sold find can really fill a room!

We think it’s only a matter of time before black marble is back in chain store favorites like IKEA. Until then, let the internet and its wide array of online furniture retailers be your guide… Happy Monday!
