Stone Stackers
Hometown: Rome
Based in: Rome
The Stone Stackers brand is deeply classic and highly contemporary. The idea of reclaiming and re-purposing discarded marble into works of practical art is at the forefront of a global movement that champions conscious provenance and sustainability in design.
The act of intelligently re-imagining the off-cuts of once ancient stone – by-products of the unsustainable quarry of marble from Italian mountains – and creating ultra-modern pieces designed to last a lifetime is both an act of entrepreneurial creativity and altruistic environmentalism.
The duality of old and new – of creating something from nothing – is further reflected in the real-world union of the founders, Paolo Ciacci and Shilpa Srinivas, along with their partner Simeg Marmi. Their individual experiences and common vision have given birth not only to a new enterprise but an original interpretation of the eternal value and beauty of the stone.
Stone Stackers In The Studio
"Embracing the oddly broken shapes of the marble to integrate in their designs is a mindful choice to celebrate imperfection. The notion then was to limit the use of heavy machinery in creation or refining and instead favored hand-wrought."
