Synonymous with classic elegance, preciousness, luxury, marble is a material capable of speaking a contemporary, daring, experimental language. And to bring ideas of originality and unusual lightness to the interior design. Through technology. Numerical control machines of the latest generation are able to bring the material to ever thinner thicknesses, design complex modularities, create textures that invite to the touch. To talk about the new marble cladding surfaces, ‘flat’ is really the last adjective that can be used.
Full and empty, black and white
Holes. Only the Japanese lightness of Nendo can transform them into added value, creating for Marsotto a wall with a hypnotic rhythm. The void is also a matter of design for Lavagnoli, who exploits the convexity of a three-dimensional mesh in Bianco di Carrara to insert light or green.
If the whiteness of the most traditional of brands remains among the favorite options of designers and companies, there is no lack of color choices on the contrary. Elisa Ossino for Salvatori creates real optical black & white paintings by combining Carrara marble with Pietra D'Avola. Martinelli Venezia Studio for Lithea explore, in waves of material, the dark depths of Grigio Billiemi marble and Pietra Pece.
