Marsotto Edizioni UK launch

Marsotto Edizioni is recognised as an exceptional collection created by some of the world’s most eminent designers and architects, realised entirely in white Carrara marble
twentytwentyone will exclusively represent the range and host the launch during London Design Festival.
Ten international designers including James Irvine, Jasper Morrison, Konstantin Grcic, Thomas Sandell and Naoto Fuksawa provide for a very diverse selection of functional and enduring designs.

Marsotto are a highly respected, family run stone company based near Verona, Italy. Under the creative guidance of James Irvine they launched the first collection to the public in 2010. A second range of designs were seen as prototypes during the Milan Furniture Fair 2011

“All the designers have pushed the use of marble into unexpected areas. Always useful yet at the same time sculptural. Faithful to the philosophy of making products totally in marble. A combination of high technology with the craftsmanship of the artisan” James Irvine

“Our dream is to use marble in everyday objects. At the same time we wish to preserve all the experience and the ancient manual techniques of our craftsmen. Some of the most brilliant international designers have participated with great enthusiasm to create a timeless collection of products.” Costanza and Mario Marsotto

Marsotto Edizioni provides a unique marriage between progressive stone-working technology and the rare experience and understanding of craftsmen.
The use of a rich, solid and natural material in context of the thought processes and creativity of distinguished designers provides for a covetable collection.

“The products convey a feel of modernity while preserving the luxury gathered from nature and enhanced by human interpretation” Costanza Marsotto

Works in marble by Alberto Meda, Claesson Koivisto Rune, Konstantin Grcic, James Irvine, Joel Berg, Jasper Morrison, Maddalena Casadei, Naoto Fukasawa, Ross Lovegrove and Thomas Sandell

Notes; Marble from Carrara mountains is 190 million years old. The revered material was used by the Greeks and the Roman, but in recent times it tends to be slab-cut for bathrooms and worktops. Marsotto utilises CNC milling equipment alongside hand working craftsmanship. Under the creative direction of James Irvine Marsotta Edizioni intends to provide a rounded collected of all-marble products including storage furniture, tables, seating, lights and accessories. The international group of designers involved has created for quite distinct personalities within the portfolio of 30 products.
Although not a limited edition, each piece is unique through the colour and texture of the stone, and is numbered with a microchip.
