Stone Stackers
The idea of reclaiming and re-purposing discarded marble into works of practical art is at the forefront of a global movement that champions conscious provenance and sustainability in design.
The act of intelligently re-imagining the off-cuts of once ancient stone – by-products of the unsustainable quarry of marble – and creating ultra-modern pieces designed to last a lifetime is both an act of entrepreneurial creativity and altruistic environmentalism.
The duality of old and new – of creating something from nothing – is further reflected in the real-world union of the company’s founders, Paolo Ciacci and Shilpa Srinivas.
Their individual experiences and common vision have given birth not only to a new enterprise but an original interpretation of the eternal value and beauty of stone.
Embracing the oddly broken shapes of the marble to integrate into their designs is a mindful choice to celebrate imperfection. These remnants become the medium for a striking transformation. The restoration process begins with cleaning and assessing the damage.
Cracks, chips, and discoloration are carefully addressed, with the goal of preserving the marble’s unique characteristics. This meticulous restoration work is not merely technical; it requires a deep understanding of the material and an artistic vision.
