The planning and production of the hewn stone encapsulate all the major features of design: originality, styling, functionality and industrialization. The sinuous plied shape of the stone is suited to all architectural requirements and makes a multitude of constructions possible: designers can create their building according to their own creativity. A complex and challenging project where the company and the designer went through a lengthy process of studying the cutting possibilities, checking the technical requirements and testing the technological limits to make sure that marble could be split, that the modular and specular surfaces would match and could be put back together to allow the material to be recomposed in an architectural shape.
The project is also a challenge to the sustainability of marble: the shape is designed to afford minimum production waste and, thanks to their solidity, these hewn stones are also pro-duced to be dismantled, re-used and re-built like those used in ancient buildings.
