Thinking in marble 2024

The projects Altari and Sesto, at Villa Bagatti Valsecchi, are designed by Paolo Ulian and they explore the material by combining craftsmanship, artistic sensitivity, and environmental sustainability. Sesto is a hexagonal table available in two sizes: for coffee and for dining. The project entails a careful use of marble, reducing waste; both tables are indeed made from 2 cm thick marble slabs, utilizing the scraps generated from the processing of the dining table legs to create the coffee tables.
Altari is a fruit bowl, composed of various marble cylinders that differ in type and size. The object allows complete freedom in composition, where each element is capable of supporting only one fruit at a time. The designer’s intention is to draw attention to the divinity of food, recognizing its vital importance and the need to treat it with respect and reverence.
