LUCE DI CARRARA
KAIRO
Marble armchair with armrests
Kairo is an armchair crafted from a single block of marble, where each monolith features sculpted volumes and evolving forms, with seamless surfaces that flow from front to back. Originally conceived in scented cedar and made from a single block of wood, the design has been reimagined to create a striking piece of furniture from solid marble. The distinctive double-arch shape carved into the chair draws inspiration from a journey to Egypt. The solid block of marble is first cut, then placed into one of Luce di Carrara specialized machines, which carves the block continuously to achieve the desired form. This process takes hours to shape the final contours of the armchairs and coffee tables. Afterward, each piece is meticulously smoothed by hand to perfect its volumes and finish. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor spaces, the Kairo monoliths are a true expression of marble’s versatility. Each piece evolves uniquely, showcasing the natural beauty and variations of the material.
