So Hot Right Now // Marble Madness: Part 02.

Part 02 of Marble Madness looks at examples where marble is juxtaposed with other colours and/ or materials – the look adopted by many high-powered corporate lift lobbies back in the 80s with varying degreed of success, if you’re catching what I’m pitching. I must admit I am yet to embrace this look in it’s entirety as I’m not exactly convinced of it’s longevity (much like the ostentatious corporate lobbies I mentioned).

For what it’s worth, I still think that some of these examples manage to give the stone a fresh new look and a contemporary edge. They also show us that, in some cases, a little bit of marble can go a long way.

Enoki side tables with marble tops by Philipp Mainzer for e15.

Earthquake 5.9 by Patricia Urquiola for Budri (previously).

‘Fishbone’ tables by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso. By the way, I absolutely realise these are not actually made of marble, but they fit into the aesthetic so perfectly. Besides, Urquiola recreated patterns that deliberately mimic natural materials like horn, mother-of-pearl, marble and tortoise shell.
