A rigorous and sensuous dialogue between materiality and form, Stefano’s travertine and walnut Collection embodies a dualism between refinement and rawness, drawing on the enduring beauty of Roman travertine and the warmth of canaletto walnut. With enveloping, dynamic forms, marked by curvature and intertwined volumes, each work creates a sense of movement and visual rhythm. At once monumental and intimate, the collection recalls the exuberant geometries of 1970s Italian architecture, reinterpreted with a heightened sense of refinement and compositional control
With ingenious design and exquisite artisanship, each plane becomes an organic volume, softly contoured, subtly irregular, and deliberately removed from rigid linearity. This formal approach fosters a tactile and spatial immediacy, encouraging a more intimate engagement with the objects. The travertine, with its porous depth and natural variation, anchors each piece with an architectural gravitas, while the walnut introduces a shifting chromatic warmth that deepens over time, reinforcing the temporal dimension of the design
Beneath these fluid surfaces, the bases function not merely as supports but as central compositional elements. Their intertwined curves and enveloping silhouettes create a sense of dynamic equilibrium. Visually light but structurally assured, they reflect a deep study of mass, balance, and movement
Handcrafted in Italy, the Travertine and Walnut Collection reinterprets historical reverence with a contemporary idiom through a meticulous study of counterpoint, material, and proportion
