Natural stone, which contains the ore of nature, is not only a building element, thanks to new technologies and creative ideas; it has become a part of our daily life by being used in many different areas such as interiors, furniture and decorative objects. We have compiled the furniture and accessory designs shaped with natural stone material by leading designers from different parts of the world.
Who Said Marble is a Cold Material?
Bettogli, designed by Franchi Umberto Marmi,
is a furniture collection consisting of sofas, armchairs and coffee tables
shaped with marble. Marble back and armrests with sharp and continuous outlines
in the design are combined with very comfortable cushions. Thus, the idea that
marble is a cold and emotionless material was eliminated, and an elegant and
warm experience was offered to the users.
Monumental Aesthetics
“Vondel” is a coffee table collection
designed by Lemon, which draws attention with its balance between aesthetics
and function, and long-lasting furniture designs. Produced with travertine
material, Vondel emphasizes the sense of permanence with its structural
integrity and strong stance, while offering a timeless silhouette with its
plain form and modern lines. Produced from travertine of different colors and
textures, the collection stands on a fine line between a sculpture and an
accessory.
Symbol of Quality and Durability
Perchoir, designed by Maxime Boutillier, who
comprehensively evaluates the relationship between form and material in his
designs, is a lighting design with modern lines, shaped by travertine and brass
materials. Boutillier’s special production design, which aims to connect with
the past of the space, has a sculptural aesthetic that emphasizes the tactile
appeal and permanence of natural materials.
Elegant Touches on Marble
Shaped with marble, which is a symbol of
elegance with its intense white veins on a pink background, Rocky is a coffee
table designed by Ateliers Saint-Jacques. Artisanal furniture is produced using
both traditional and modern techniques in the workshop, which consists of
master craftsmen.
Craftsmanship, Sustainability and Transparency
Snug by Sanna Völker is a bespoke
candlestick collection that aims to highlight local craftsmanship, quality
materials and sentimental value. All the pieces in the design have been
carefully selected from a quarry on a small mountain, some of which are 500
million years old natural stone residues. In the minimalist design that
emphasizes the material itself, the candles are placed in a brutalist yet
delicate way, reflecting the story of craftsmanship, sustainability and
transparency.
Aura of Onyx and Volcanic Stone
Aura, designed by EWE Studio, is a lighting
design made of four intertwined, crescent-shaped white onyx stones placed on a
volcanic stone base. The top of the translucent and fully hand-engraved stone
lighting shows the unique white veins and natural patterns of onyx. The
volcanic stone base appears as if the light is emanating from the ground.
Reshape Your Living Spaces with Travertine
Dona, designed by the French designer Jimmy
Delatour, is a furniture collection shaped with travertine material. In his
collection of tables and stools, the designer aimed to highlight the material
by using modern geometric forms, seeking to reshape living spaces.
Material that Softens with Form
Gousse is a console made of travertine
material, designed by Maxime Boutillier. The designer, who is also an
architect, emulates the fact that the floors of the buildings are wider than
the upper floors, and shaped his design to expand as it touches the ground.
Green Elegance
As one of the coffee table collections of
Berlin-based design collective Labinac, produced with cut stone pieces, Green
Forest Table is designed by Jimmie Durham. It draws attention with its table emphasizing
the characteristic texture of green marble and the vitality of natural stone on
aluminum legs.
