The undulating curves of this stone bench is created with MM Galleri’s patented Bended Marble technology. Onyx Bubble is sliced into 2mm-thin sheets and then slowly heated until it yields to the artist’s imagination. A translucent fibre-glass inner structure allows this piece to be illuminated from within to create a glowing vision that represents the intensity of heat and pressure below the Earth’s surface. This is a statement piece par none.

The simplicity of a single squiggle is shown to best effect when it is moulded into shape using Nero Potoro Gold marble, where sharp curves defy the perception that stone is rigid and stiff. The surprising unexpectedness is what makes this console table a piece to behold.
