Our stones at Matter and Shape

Matter as a starting point

In the world of natural stone, there is a moment that comes before the project itself: the choice of the material. Every slab has its own identity, made of veining, colour and depth, and the role of those who work with stone is precisely to identify the material capable of dialoguing with a design idea.
It is in this space, between design and material, that Marimar’s work takes place: supporting designers, architects and companies in selecting the most suitable natural stone, transforming a design intuition into a real surface.

Natural stone as a design language

In the project curated by Finemateria, natural stone becomes an integral part of the design. The Nuvolato Calacatta used in the project introduces a material dimension capable of dialoguing with the essential geometries of the elements presented by Very Simple: Kitchen and QuadroDesign.
Its warm veins move naturally across the surface, adding depth and variation to a context dominated by precise forms and industrial surfaces. In this balance between design rigor and natural materiality, stone is not simply a cladding: it becomes an active component of the space.

A chromatic exploration of stone

The contribution of natural stone proves fundamental also in the off-site, where a selection of materials from the Marimar catalogue is reinterpreted through the brand’s design vision.
In this context, the chromatic variety of natural stone reflects the colourful identity of Very Simple Kitchen and accompanies the presentation of the new natural colour tones introduced in the catalogue. The surfaces are juxtaposed and observed as elements of a material composition capable of creating palettes and contrasts between different tones. Stone is therefore not only an architectural surface, but also a tool for design research, capable of engaging with new aesthetics in contemporary design.

Marimar’s contribution

Within this process, Marimar contributes through the selection and interpretation of the materials made available for the project.
This work does not simply concern the supply of stone, but the ability to understand the project’s needs and identify within the catalogue the surfaces most consistent with the design vision. In this case, the aim was to support Very Simple’s chromatic exploration through natural stones capable of dialoguing with a more colourful and experimental vision of the material. It is precisely in this moment, between selection and interpretation, that natural stone becomes part of the creative process. Often, the project begins right there: from the encounter with the material.
