An exploration of transformation made visible, the Horae M collection unfolds as a meditation on time’s slow choreography. Named after the Greek goddesses of the seasons, who presided over the natural order and the quiet passing of hours, Horae M contemplates the poetic erosion that reshapes form with patience and inevitability

Composed of four coffee tables, the collection traces a single block through four distinct moments in its evolution. The first work stands pristine and complete, an emblem of potential. The second begins to shift, its edges softened. The third shows deepening alteration, the first marks of absence appearing as presence. The final table is a culmination: a structure refined and redefined by the passage of imagined time. Seen together, they become a visual continuum, a sequence of transformation rendered in stone

Crafted in either Arabescato or Nero Marquina marble, each variation draws out a different sensibility of time. The pale, veined Arabescato reveals the fluid passage of light across its surface, tracing the subtle interplay between erosion and renewal, while the deep, lustrous Nero Marquina emphasizes shadow, weight, and permanence. These options allow the collection’s sculptural narrative to unfold through contrasting material temperaments , one luminous and ethereal, the other somber and elemental

Handmade in France by master artisans, the Horae M collection translates the intangible process of erosion into a tangible narrative of becoming. What begins as permanence is reimagined as metamorphosis: four variations of a single gesture, each one a quiet record of time’s unfolding touch

Raphael Crespin

Born Paris, France, 1978

Raphael Crespin is a French architect and designer based in Hong Kong

His approach is often experimental at the intersection of design, art, and architecture. Raphael is particularly interested in exploring the creative potential of emergent digital tools and their ability to address new ways of thinking design and architecture narratives

Prior to establishing his practice, Raphael worked with various offices in Asia and Europe. As a Postdoc Researcher at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, he participated in the Grand Challenge Program for Sustainable Built Environment in association with MIT. One of his most relevant experiences was certainly with dECOi Architects, an architectural firm known for its radical approach where Raphael actively contributed to the development of advanced design strategies for numerous award-winning projects

Raphael received his Master of Design and Interior Architecture from ESAG Penninghen in Paris
