"Stone decor tends to be heavy, polished, and a little intimidating, the kind of thing you place once and never move. Light changes in a room all day, from sharp morning angles to warm late-afternoon spreads, but most stone decor doesn't respond to any of it. The idea that a piece of stone could feel different at different times of day doesn't come up often in furniture or object design."
"The perforations aren't decorative in the usual sense. Repeated voids give the object its rhythm and character, and they shape not only the form itself but also the shadows around it. Standing at a slight angle, the grid of holes reads as a pattern of overlapping light and dark ovals. Move a little and the composition shifts. Repetition creates a rhythm that is both structured and organic."
A marble collection uses strategically placed openings to soften the apparent mass of heavy stone and make light, air, and shadow active elements of design. Repeated voids establish a visual rhythm that shapes form and the surrounding shadows, producing patterns of overlapping light and dark that shift with angle and movement. The perforations transform solidity into perceived porousness, reducing visual weight and introducing a breathable quality. When lit from within, the openings project distinct light patterns that change with angle and time of day. The work balances permanence and fluidity, challenging expectations about stone as static and immutable.
