Symposion: a contemporary exploration of marble At the heart of the project lies an Arabescato Fantastico marble rich with history. Sourced from fragments recovered during the creation of Karl Lagerfeld’s bathroom at the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, these rare blocks have been reinterpreted to give life to three pieces: a daybed, a chair, and a floor lamp. What could have remained an invisible trace of an exceptional project becomes here the starting point for a new narrative, where the memory of the place and the precision of craftsmanship engage in dialogue with contemporary creation Each piece reveals a tension between technical precision and formal freedom, allowing certain raw surfaces to appear as a signature of time and process.
Presented during the opening on January 15 at the showroom, 33 rue de Verneuil in Paris, Symposion embodies a vision in which marble goes beyond its decorative function to become a living presence.
As marble experts, we support designers in singular projects, pushing the limits of fabrication to transform an exceptional material into sculptural, sensitive, and lasting objects.
