FACE Á FACE
Brand: Agape
Concept: Jean Nouvel
Production: Grassi Pietre
Material: Marmo nero marquinia levigato
The new bathtub of architectural marks launches of the collaboration between Agape and the French architect. Thanks to an ingenious system of invisible joints, in the construction of the bathtub the surfaces appear to simply approach one another side by side. The surfaces brush gently against one another, and thanks to the extremely precise inclination of the panels that become the backrests, the bathtub is transformed into a cozy nest where you can sit, stretch out, read, and relax. Like the washbasin, this piece is an abstract object that uses contrast to enhance the almost baroque splendor of the marble.

DEMETRA
Brand: BiancoBianco
Design: Giorgio Canale
Production: Remax Marmi
Material: Black Giunone, White Apollo
Demetra is the new entry in BiancoBianco’s latest collection, an indoor separator that fully embodies its name.
The work is in fact made of natural stone but completely reflects the softness, flexibility and lightness of leaves found in nature. This is because two deep-rooted limitations in the stone industry are deconstructed: it is not static and heavy, but rather adaptable to the environment in which it is presented, thanks to its undulating shape that allows it to be freely positioned and curved.
The ductility of the piece allows it to adapt in the ambience, delimiting areas and creating different intimate spaces, due to the multiplicity of designs and formats in which Demetra is exhibited.

AIRA
Brand: Horm
Design: Marcantonio
Production: Marmo Elite
Material: Bronzo placcato oro 24k, Bianco Carrara lucido, Nero Marquinia lucido, Sodalite blu acido, Onice rosa lucido, Azul Macaubas lucido, Nero Port Laurent lucido, Travertino levigato, Onice bianco lucido
Since the dawn of time, man scratches the earth’s crust in the search of life. In the stone, he imagines archetypal shapes and spaces to satisfy earthly needs and finds a connection with the spirit and the eternal. Sculpture thus becomes man’s first act of creation, origin of a design thought that reaches us through the millennia. Through the Sculptura kitchen I wanted to express the inseparable bond that unites project and sculptural gesture, rediscovering a profound and artistic value in its function.
Function becomes sculpture, abstract material, monolith, in an archaic balance between past and present, mass and emptiness, solidity and lightness. Far from the contemporary practice in which stone is used as a mere cladding skin, Sculptura rediscovers the energy and archaic strength of the mineral element that resides in its wholeness, in its heavy mass, in the depth of its soul.

RONCHAMP TABLE
Brand: Baxter
Design: Stefano Guidotti, Vincenzo Colecchia
Production: Odone Angelo
Material: Carrara Bianco Gioia, Onice Brioche
Collaboration: Tenax
This year’s project for the Marmomac Trade Fair was inspired by the organic forms of Le Corbusier’s architecture, in particular, the Ronchamp Chapel and its design elements.
The sinuous curves and concave or convex volumes of this building serve as a construction and design reference. This allows creating the table’s shape and makes it a small work of architecture itself.
The leg profile mirrors the table top’s shape, as if one were the reflection of the other. The elements composing it are joined by an innovative polychrome terrazzo material made of resin and precious onyx. The components are joined by a ‘liquid’ material as used in the ancient Japanese Kintsugi technique. This involves the art of repairing ceramics by grafting the broken parts together with gold. Art, design and architecture commingle in a single work.

Production: Map Slate
Material: Ardesia Black
The first production, produced in only 99 signed copies, was immediately sold out. The same thing happened for the second edition.

The original version is made with five different types of wood, which when worked on the pantograph showing the polychrome effect, evoking the movement of a wave, forming anatomical spaces for the sittings.
The stone version, created for the Brand & Stone 2.0 edition at Marmomac 2019, aims to be a homage to the designer Toyo Ito, to reproduce, with the use of natural stone, the design of the original piece, extracting its natural polychromy from the stone.

He is physically out of size to be a toy or a lamp, as well as out of size for a gorilla. Kong becomes a unique and extraordinary object left loose in unconfined spaces and environments.
Most of all, thanks to the imaginative look created by the designer, he isn’t scary anymore.
