Marino Home Office Furniture Collection
Contemporary Vintage Oak Furniture for Modern UK Home Offices — Hand-Picked by an Industry Expert
Marino is a focused four-piece collection in warm vintage oak, designed for buyers who want premium coordination at a slightly more accessible price point than Lugo or Potenza. The range is built around a substantial L-shaped desk paired with a 2-drawer filing cabinet for serious document storage, plus a choice of two TV stands — a clean credenza style and an industrial-styled sideboard — giving buyers flexibility on how the workspace integrates into living areas. After 20 years in the furniture industry, Marino is the collection I'd recommend for buyers who need proper filing storage but want to keep the rest of the setup focused, with the TV stand options making it particularly suited to open-plan setups. From £509 with free UK mainland delivery on every piece.
Why Choose the Marino Collection?
Three things make Marino distinct within the home office collections:
Serious filing storage as a core piece. Most collections include filing as one option among many; Marino is built around it. The 2-Drawer Filing Cabinet at £509 is a substantial piece designed for proper A4 and foolscap document storage — ideal for buyers who actually handle significant paperwork rather than treating filing as an afterthought.
Two TV stand options for different aesthetics. Most collections offer one TV stand or none. Marino lets you choose between the cleaner TV Stand & Credenza style (more traditional credenza profile) or the Industrial Styled Sideboard TV Stand (mixed materials, more visual statement). Same vintage oak finish but two genuinely different visual results.
Vintage oak finish — warmer than salt oak, lighter than walnut. Marino's vintage oak sits in a specific aesthetic territory: warmer than the salt oak in Advocate, lighter than the walnut tones in Lugo, but with a more contemporary feel than traditional oak finishes. Suits modern interiors that want warmth without going dark.
What you'll find across the collection:
-
L-Shaped Home Office Desk
-
2-Drawer Filing Cabinet for serious document storage
-
TV Stand & Credenza (cleaner credenza profile)
-
Industrial Styled Sideboard TV Stand (alternative visual statement)
-
Vintage oak finish across all pieces
-

To complete the setup, Marino desks pair naturally with ergonomic office chairs for daily comfort, executive fabric office chairs for a softer aesthetic that complements the vintage oak, or operator and task chairs for practical everyday seating. Add an office mat to protect your floor and improve chair movement.
The Marino Collection in Detail
Marino L-Shaped Home Office Desk — £739
The flagship piece in the collection. Substantial L-shaped configuration in vintage oak with clean contemporary lines. Designed for wraparound working with proper desk depth and surface area for monitors, paperwork and equipment. Suited to corner positions in dedicated home office rooms.
Marino 2 Drawer Home Office Filing Cabinet — £509
A properly-sized 2-drawer filing cabinet for A4 and foolscap documents. Built for actual filing use rather than just looking like office furniture — with substantial drawer mechanisms and the storage capacity that buyers handling regular paperwork actually need. Matching vintage oak finish.
Marino TV Stand & Credenza — £699
A combined TV stand and credenza piece — the cleaner, more traditional of the two TV stand options. Profile sits lower with a more refined credenza-style appearance, particularly suited to formal living rooms where the TV stand needs to look like furniture rather than media equipment.
Marino Industrial Styled Sideboard TV Stand — £755
The alternative TV stand option — same vintage oak surfaces but with industrial-styled detailing for a bolder visual statement. Profile reads more as a statement piece than the traditional credenza option. Suited to modern lofts, contemporary apartments and rooms with stronger industrial interior styles.
Building Your Marino Home Office
How to approach a Marino setup based on your space and needs:
Compact home office (around £739): L-Shaped Desk on its own. The smallest practical Marino setup — just the desk for buyers who don't need integrated filing storage immediately or who plan to add storage pieces later.
Standard office setup (around £1,250): L-Shaped Desk (£739) + Filing Cabinet (£509). Desk plus proper document storage. The most common Marino configuration for dedicated home office rooms with significant filing requirements.
Open-plan setup with traditional TV stand (around £1,440): L-Shaped Desk (£739) + TV Stand & Credenza (£699). For rooms where the workspace shares space with the living area, with the cleaner credenza-profile TV stand. Best for more formal or traditional living rooms.
Open-plan setup with industrial TV stand (around £1,495): L-Shaped Desk (£739) + Industrial Styled Sideboard TV Stand (£755). Same workspace integration but with the bolder industrial-styled TV stand — suits modern, loft and contemporary living rooms.
Comprehensive setup with both TV options: For buyers in larger homes or with multiple rooms, owning both TV stand options is sensible — the Credenza version in formal areas, the Industrial version in more casual rooms. Same vintage oak finish ensures coordination across spaces.
Pro tip: When choosing between the two TV stand options, the determining factor is usually your existing room aesthetic rather than the TV itself. If your living room has classic furniture and softer colours, the TV Stand & Credenza fits. If your room has industrial elements, exposed brick, metal accents or modern minimalism, the Industrial Styled Sideboard works better.
Marino Collection FAQs
What's the finish on the Marino Collection?
Vintage oak — warmer than salt oak (lighter), warmer than walnut (darker), but with a contemporary feel that suits modern interiors. The "vintage" descriptor refers to a slightly weathered tone rather than aged or distressed appearance.
Is the finish real oak or veneer?
The Marino Collection uses high-quality vintage oak woodgrain effect rather than solid oak. The finish quality is genuinely good in person and consistent across pieces.
What's included in the collection?
Four pieces: L-Shaped Home Office Desk, 2-Drawer Filing Cabinet, TV Stand & Credenza, and Industrial Styled Sideboard TV Stand. The two TV stand options offer buyers a choice between cleaner credenza styling and bolder industrial-styled detailing.
What's the difference between the two TV stand options?
Both share the vintage oak finish but differ in visual styling. The TV Stand & Credenza has cleaner, more traditional credenza profile lines — suited to formal living rooms. The Industrial Styled Sideboard TV Stand has industrial-styled detailing for a bolder visual statement — suited to modern, loft and contemporary spaces.
Does Marino include a regular Home Office Desk (non L-shape)?
The current range is L-shaped only. If you need a standard rectangular desk in similar vintage oak styling, get in touch and we can discuss alternatives or other collection options that might suit.
Is Marino suitable for buyers who don't need significant filing storage?
Possibly — though the filing cabinet is a defining piece in this collection. If you don't need filing capacity, you might find Lugo or Carpi a better fit since they include lighter open shelving alternatives.
How does Marino compare to Lugo?
Both are premium-tier collections with vintage/walnut finishes. Lugo is mid-century walnut with a 6-piece range including sideboard, lateral filer and modular hutch. Marino is contemporary vintage oak with a 4-piece focused range built around an L-shape desk and 2-drawer filing cabinet. Choose Lugo for comprehensive piece selection and walnut tones; Marino for proper filing storage and a more accessible price point in vintage oak.
Do Marino pieces include free UK delivery?
Yes. Free UK mainland delivery is included on every piece in the collection with no minimum order.
Complete Your Marino Home Office
