write injuries in dust, benefits in marble.

taking a page from the books of italy, it should come as no surprise that the newest design craze can be accounted as one of my favorites. featured first at the salone del mobile in milan (milan design week), marble made an appearance through nearly every accessory. from clocks, fabrics, tabletops, lighting and stationary, the material can be spotted nearly everywhere. its luxurious qualities bring back the classical sculptures that once covered the sceneries of italy, into a now contemporary context. the marble finish quickly spread into the stockholm furniture fair, london design festival and now into companies all across north america.

the finish being seen at the highest form of popularity is one derived from tuscany’s pure white/grey carrara marble, fitting to the word’s greek derivative meaning ''a snow white and spotless stone.'' not only does the material express a beautiful aesthetic appeal, but it also allows for minimal environmental impact, making it an extremely sustainable product, encouraging those to make the investment into its pricey cost.

its elegance is best highlighted when placed with accents of wood, leather and various chrome finishes (including copper and steel). bringing marble pieces into the home, places a sense of higher class living into the interior while also utilizing its versatile abilities.
