Fade is a collection of four textures reinterpreting different motifs from our collective architectural heritage. Its uniqueness lies in the ability to blur the pattern created on marble, gradually passing from flat areas of polished slab to defined traits. This interplay of smooth and textured allows to combine Rake, Peak, Quilt and Column in various ways, creating unique compositions and giving surfaces an additional rhythm. Natural marble shows its typical veining through transitioning thicknesses, transforming rooms into spaces that fully express the meaning of living in contact with marble. Choosing Fade, architects and interior designers have the chance to design rooms that stand out, using a few simple yet timeless elements.

Territory takes a completely unique approach to the idea of creating textures and achieves equally stunning results. Its peculiarity is that the stone is not interpreted by a three-dimensional transformation of its surface through cutting. Instead, the honed stone is modelled at a microscopic level by sandblasting it. This graphic approach to modify the slabs using templates shows the purest and rawest side of the stone. The territories of honed and sandblasted marble allow the colour of the stone to stand out while providing a glimpse beneath the surface. These technical transitions give the perception of two different materials lying side by side, creating seamless wall coverings.

Like a pier in a port elevating people as they transit from place to place, the Porto coffee table elevates your objects with its presence. The coffee table takes inspiration from the aesthetic of piers, with their slender tops and solid legs sticking out of the water, carrying your favorite objects as they move through the marble top, lounging and relaxing as we experience our lives surrounded by these natural materials. Just like the ports of Tuscany that ship and transport marble all around the world, this coffee table allows you to immerse yourself in the beauty of marble and let it infuse your surroundings with its presence. It can be the centerpiece of any living room as well as a perfect side companion for your sofa. The Porto coffee table is available in a selection of sizes and plays with proportions, both in height and volume, to combine the marble top with four wooden legs. This interplay of proportions tricks the onlookers and their perception of the object. The marble top seems lighter, while the wooden legs feel heavy and planted all in perfect balance, while challenging one's own age-old ideas about these materials. The result is a perfect contrast between weight and functionality, a piece made of marble yet light and easy to move around.

Inspired by the aesthetics and function of newspaper sticks, this object holder combines a marble container divided into two compartments with a distinctive asymmetrical lid made of wood and marble. It is exactly this asymmetry that makes it mysterious and intriguing. This quirk in the design creates a unique interaction with the object, with the wooden tube acting as a fulcrum and a handle that allows the lid to assume different positions, closed or open, left or right. The flipping of the lid, like newspaper pages or the turning of a fan, assumes distinct positions for presenting, hiding and protecting your messages and everyday objects. Whether you prioritize protecting them or exploring their contents, this object will always entice you to turn its pages and discover what lies within. Like a newspaper, the container always has a good story waiting to be discovered. With its materials and form, it is a perfect welcome home, a companion for objects in transit, a place to empty one’s pockets and a messenger all in one. Versatile and playful, it can find a place in any room and can assume different roles mixing simple gestures, mechanisms and geometries to surround yourself with the warmth of marble.

A body made from white milk glass diffuses the light, creating a relaxed atmosphere, while the upper recess is home to a glass bowl designed to hold food for sharing.
This can be combined or alternated with a taller bowl and wider one – almost a plate – at the top.
The bowls – and the lamp itself – are made from hand-worked glass, making them unique pieces whose texture, transparency and colour generate a special dialogue between light and food, blurring the boundaries between them.
Maximum attention to detail has been shown in order to do justice to the object itself and the other elements with which it interacts.
Light plays a key role in creating the perfect atmosphere, interacting with other elements on the table and promoting sharing and conviviality.
“It’s not the lamp, but the light itself which accommodates the food and enhances it through the interaction it creates.” Davide Oldani

The Bicolore collection, as the name suggests, forges two different marbles into a single bowl conveying the beauty of these natural stones in a completely unique way. This result can only be achieved through the fusion of machine and man, working together in perfect harmony to create a delicate layer that is otherwise impossible to find in nature, merging two territories and histories in one object. Its potential for variations in color and size not only creates an ever-changing hue from any perspective, but also tells the unique story of each natural stone used to craft it. Merging materials with contrasting colors and veins in a single volume, the bowls are ready to elevate and embrace whatever you desire to hold, protect and display. They come in two sizes and can be used in different contexts. On a dining table they can easily become the center of attention, a statement, ready to serve or present. Whether placed in the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom, they are always evocative and ready to treasure whatever it may contain.
