Convivium

Stone in a domestic scale

Convivium is a project that explores the intimate and everyday dimension of natural stone design.

Marimar invited ten designers to create a collection of tabletop objects, where stone becomes gesture, symbol and function.

The table becomes a landscape—sometimes surreal, sometimes archetypal, always symbolic.

The project was curated by Davide Fabio Colaci.

Figure – Eligo Studio

A series of onyx candle holders evoking silhouettes of faces, hands and bodies.

Thin layers of green, white and pink onyx refract candlelight with unique transparency.

Delicate presences that bring poetry to the table.

Rompinoci – Matteo Agati

Crafted from Serizzo granite, Rompinoci is a sculptural object recalling an ancient gesture: breaking, sharing, nourishing.

Its oval shape is inspired by the Roman circus and pays tribute to the Sicilian roots of the designer.

Tovaglia – Analogia Project

Plates and accessories in multicolored marble reinterpret the checkered tablecloths of Italian trattorias.

The patterns deform over curved surfaces, creating visual distortions that abstract the object from its function.

Pivò – Gustavo Martini

A modular fruit bowl made from Grigio Carnico and Rosa Portogallo, based on solids of rotation and balance systems.

A central sphere connects two cones resting freely on each other.

Geometry and matter unite in silent balance.

Cupola – Giorgio Bonaguro

A bread plate made from Portoro marble and Vienna straw.

It combines the imagery of Italian domes with the everyday tradition of domestic dining.

Two materials narrating intimate, functional architecture.

Due – Federico Angi

A travertine centerpiece designed as a modular, functional object.

Two symmetrical halves, simple and measured, for aperitifs, desserts or breakfast.

Formal essentiality with roots in ancient Rome.

Uovocomune – Flatwig Studio

A project that brings the egg back to the center of conviviality, with both irony and reverence.

Made of red Verona marble, it can stand alone or stack into forms inspired by Renaissance towers or celebration cakes.

A collective ritual to be reinvented.

Vues du Ciel – Philippe Tabet

A pair of trays and a salt cellar in marble mosaic that depict landscapes from above: fields, salt flats, fish farms.

An ethical and aesthetic reflection on the origin of food and material.

Suffit – Maddalena Selvini

A candle holder born from spontaneous assembly of stone scraps.

Fragments that support each other in intuitive balance.

An ephemeral object, light as the breath that blows out its flame.

Aequilibrium – Ronald Sasson

A sculptural fruit bowl in Thassos white, suspended by a stone cylinder and polished brass rod.

Three shapes, three weights, a delicate equilibrium inspired by Niemeyer’s architecture.

A simple gesture that celebrates the beauty of tension.
