MÉMOIRE DE MATIÈRE
Rojo Levanto marble ashtray
Ashtray in Rosso Levanto marble and polished steel from the Mémoire de Matière collection.
Each piece is born from a composition of contrasts in which mass and detail works together: marble bases and etal surfaces finished with hand-hammered textures. Structural elements, conceived as solid, defining features. Marble is chosen as the primary material for its density, precision of cut, and unique veining. The color palette ranging from deep green to intense red and light tones is fundamental: each variation alters the object’s character while maintaining the collection’s formal logic. The choice of materials evokes an ancient tradition, in which the table was a ritual space as well as a functional one. In classical civilizations, stone and metals defined objects destined to endure, to accumulate layers over time, to become part of domestic memory. In Mémoire de Matière, this legacy is reinterpreted in a contemporary key, bringing solidity and permanence to everyday gestures. The hammered metal fragments the light into irregular, soft reflections, emphasizing profiles and joints. Designed to fit naturally into both private and public spaces, the collection finds its place in homes as well as in restaurants and hotels, where detail ecomes an integral part of the interior design project. Compact yet distinctive objects capable of defining atmosphere, rhythm, and the quality of the experience, helping to create a mise en place consistent with the interior architecture. The collection includes candleholders, candelabras, incense holders, ashtrays, cutlery rests, and glasses with marble coasters, featuring variations in size and composition designed to fit into both minimalist and more decorative settings while maintaining a distinct and recognizable presence. Mémoire de Matière transforms the art of setting the table into a design gesture: the table is no longer a simple surface, but a constructed space where material and memory engage in a contemporary dialogue.
