The Bastide Kitchen Island pairs a substantial marble slab top with a mango wood frame, bringing the character of a traditional cook’s table into the kitchen. Soft grey veining contrasts with the timber’s grain, while traditional drawer handles and open shelving give the piece its grounded, furniture-like presence. Handcrafted by skilled artisans, it offers drawer storage and two generous shelves for everyday kitchen essentials. Its straightforward proportions sit comfortably within farmhouse and provincial kitchens, alongside painted cabinetry, aged metals and natural stone.

Frequent Queries
How much space should I allow around the Bastide?
The island measures 145 cm long × 75 cm wide × 91 cm high. Before ordering, mark out its footprint and allow room to move comfortably around it, open nearby cupboards and drawers, and use kitchen appliances.
How should I care for the marble top?
Wipe spills immediately, particularly lemon juice, vinegar, wine and tomato-based sauces, which can stain or etch marble. Clean with a soft cloth or sponge, warm water and a pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid acidic or harsh cleaners, bleach and vinegar-based solutions, and use chopping boards for food preparation.
Will the marble and timber look exactly like the photographs?
Each marble slab is naturally unique, so its soft grey veining and tonal variations will differ. Mango wood also varies in grain and colour, while the handcrafted nature of the piece means small differences in appearance are to be expected.
