In world that seems to be obsessed with faster, better, more. I find myself craving slower, quieter and less. Less hustle, more presence. Choosing longevity and depth over quick and easy. As is so often the case, my yearnings in life are filtering into design. Choosing work that honors craft, classic materials and timeless style. Nothing embodies this more to me than marble.
A material that’s been around for millennia, if offer timeless elegance and natural beauty impossible to manufacture. The distinctive veining, rich colour variations and finish options, make it both versatile and hard to compete with. And while the fact that it is porous material make staining and etching a possibility. Don’t let that scare you, I invite you consider that that just may be where the beauty lies – the patina and evidence of life lived and loved.
If the thought of committing to marble on a surface in your home still makes you nervous, you’re in luck. We’re seeing it show up in lighting, accessories and furniture. Offering an opportunity for anyone to incorporate this beautiful natural material in their home, regardless of style, aesthetic and and budget.
