The M_009 is a travertine nightstand from the Monolith Collection by Marc Personick.
Three rectangular blocks compose the piece: two vertical forms stand side by side, a horizontal slab rests across their tops. The structure is compact and direct. No hardware, no visible connection, just stone on stone, bearing weight the way stone has always done. The proportions suit a bedside position, but the object reads as sculpture at any scale.
Travertine, with its characteristic pores and fine horizontal striations, is the only material. The surface is unpolished, giving the piece the same tactile quality as rough-quarried stone. The warm beige tone shifts slightly with the angle of light, exposing the depth of the material.
The M_009 sits alongside the other table forms in the Monolith Collection as a demonstration of Marc Personick's structural logic: the simplest arrangement of mass produces the most resolved form.

About
Monolith
Monolith is a New York design studio and gallery founded in 2023 by Marc Personick. The practice centers on one formal idea: brutalist furniture design that belongs in the home with the same authority it occupies in architecture. Every piece begins with geometry and mass, then submits to the logic of the material.
Stone and wood structure the Monolith palette. Travertine, volcanic and porous, arrives cream-colored and marked by natural incident: veining, pores, the record of its formation. White oak runs warmer and more immediate, offsetting the stone's geological weight. Together, the two materials define the studio's range: neither polished nor rough, but deliberately between.
Personick collaborates with architects and independent designers to expand the Monolith vocabulary. The M_001 Chair, a U-shaped travertine block resting on two differently formed legs, typifies the approach: geometry without ornament, material without apology. The M_007 Lounge Chair stacks travertine into an angled resting form, functional and sculptural in equal measure.
The Monolith Collection spans more than twenty objects: seating, tables, consoles, benches, and lighting, each available in stone or wood variants. Launched in 2023, the collection has attracted collectors and interior architects looking for geometric designer furniture grounded in material discipline rather than surface gesture.
Monolith pieces are available on Monde Singulier.
