The work
Carved from solid blocks, the table's curved body is shaped so the grain of the stone follows its volume, which makes each edition number distinct. It is a functional object that keeps the presence of a sculpture.
Set in a room it works two ways: a surface to use, and a still, weighty form that quietly holds the space around it.
Materials & making
Hand-carved marble
Marble is worked by removal; nothing is added back. Each block is unique, and the carver reads its veining and density before the first cut. What remains is stone that has been in the ground for millions of years, shaped over months into a single, unrepeatable object.

01
Selecting the block
Stone is chosen from the Apuan quarries above Pietrasanta, assessed for grain, colour and freedom from flaws before work begins.
02
Roughing out
The mass is reduced toward the form using point and tooth chisels, establishing proportion and volume from the solid block.
03
Carving the detail
Master carvers refine the surface with rasp, riffler and drill, translating the artist's intent into stone by hand.
04
Finishing
The surface is worked from coarse to fine (matte, honed or polished) according to the work, revealing the marble's depth.
