Loris was inside a magnificent block of marble extracted at 1300 meters above sea level,
in a quarry on a mountain overlooking the sea:
this marble is called Arabescato Corchia and now is a table.
Loris arises from the idea of disturbing the shape directly from the inside, creating a product showing the latency present in the block of marble itself.
Starting from the hexagonal module (directly derived from the client, Barsi Marmi’s corporate image grid) and the six equilateral triangles that generate it, we suggest an alternative to the classical project disarticulating Loris and proposing a subsequent re-composition.

Loris has been made with numerical control machines, controlled and finished by artisans concentrating centuries of experience in their own hands.
We returned to the classical approach of the marble sculpture:
this table is no longer made by the addition of individual components, but Loris represents the precise and progressive subtraction from the “unicum” of the raw material to the, final, shiny, designed shape.
