Bespoke Marble TV Unit | Timber-Slat Wall and Open Shelves

We completed a bespoke TV unit combining a Calacatta marble backdrop, natural walnut acoustic slats, illuminated open bookshelves and a stepped console. Concealed warm LEDs and handleless push-to-open storage create a sculptural, layered and prestigious living-room focal point.

Our aim was to create a layered architectural TV wall by combining the elegance of Calacatta marble with the warm rhythm of walnut slats. A stepped floating console and concealed cable routes bring functional, layered and timeless elegance to contemporary living rooms.

Design Decisions That Transform the Space

TV Unit with Gold-Veined Calacatta Marble, Natural Walnut Slats and a Stepped Console

This architectural media wall combines luxurious natural-stone veining with warm, linear timber textures. A polished Calacatta panel with gold and caramel veining forms the centrepiece, flanked by floor-to-ceiling natural walnut slats and a tall open-and-enclosed bookcase tower on the left. A floating matt cream lacquer console overlaps a floor-level walnut drawer base. Concealed warm LEDs at 2700K–3000K behind these volumes and along the stone’s vertical edge create a layered, prestigious and sculptural focal point.

Material and Colour Balance

A polished Calacatta Gold marble/large-format ceramic panel with gold, taupe and earthy veining defines the central vertical axis behind the TV.
Natural American walnut acoustic slat panels with vertical shadow joints extend to the ceiling on both sides of the marble.
An open vertical walnut bookcase/display niche, with lighting beneath each shelf, is recessed into the tall enclosed timber storage on the left.
A matt cream/cashmere lacquer floating console overlaps a stepped natural walnut-veneered drawer base running at floor level.
Concealed warm linear LED profiles at 2700K–3000K illuminate the marble’s vertical edge, both edges of the floating cream console and the open shelves.
Herringbone oak parquet, a warm textured beige rug, a low walnut-bodied coffee table with smoked glass and bronze-anthracite decorative sculptures complete the contemporary-neoclassical living room.

Architectural Composition and Spatial Hierarchy

A two-layer stepped console: overlapping the floor-level walnut base and suspended cream lacquer volume introduces dynamic architectural depth, rather than a single floor-standing or floating block.
Vertical light reveals and material transitions: concealed lighting where marble meets timber clearly distinguishes cool polished stone from warm matt timber while maintaining a balanced contrast.
An integrated bookcase and asymmetrical rhythm: the tall storage block on the left maximises capacity, while illuminated open shelves create a display-cabinet effect.

Technical and Functional Details

Two-level concealed cabling: TV and audio cables pass behind the marble and slats into the floating cream console, then through a concealed internal opening to equipment and outlets in the lower walnut base.
Handleless push-to-open mechanisms: both the cream lacquer fronts and floor-level walnut drawers remain handleless, preserving horizontal reveals and continuous timber grain.
Concealed steel support: cantilevered steel arms hidden behind the panels prevent the floating console from sagging.

Project Notes
  • A polished Calacatta Gold marble/large-format ceramic panel with gold, taupe and earthy veining defines the central vertical axis behind the TV.
  • Natural American walnut acoustic slat panels with vertical shadow joints extend to the ceiling on both sides of the marble.
  • An open vertical walnut bookcase/display niche, with lighting beneath each shelf, is recessed into the tall enclosed timber storage on the left.
  • A matt cream/cashmere lacquer floating console overlaps a stepped natural walnut-veneered drawer base running at floor level.
  • Concealed warm linear LED profiles at 2700K–3000K illuminate the marble’s vertical edge, both edges of the floating cream console and the open shelves.
  • A concealed technical channel behind the marble and slats routes TV, soundbar and equipment cables into the console.
  • Handleless push-to-open fittings preserve the simplicity of both the floating lacquer fronts and floor-level walnut drawers.
