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
