The Living Objects is a collection of stone objects that can be used in multifunctional ways.
With its clean aesthetics and beautiful colors, the Living Objects is designed to be in a playful dialogue with its owner, inviting you to play with different compositions, functions and use.
The Living Objects can serve as a candleholder, a flower vase, a bookend or anything else you can imagine.
The multifunctionality of the Living Objects also means that the product can be used more and for longer time, instead of being a seasonal product that ends up unused.
The Living Objects are made in Portugal from marble and travertine.
In general, natural stone is a durable material with a low CO2 footprint. When the stone is sourced close to the manufacturing workshop, it is possible to keep the CO2 footprint of the product low.
The collection is made from Portuguese marble and travertine sourced from various countries, depending on availability.
At our manufacturing partner's site, the stone is shaped into the Living Object with laser cutting. Since the product is only made of stone, it has a long durability and can be polished into shape if necessary.
Seen here in constellation with the Composition Light, the Living Object is an aesthetically pleasing as well as a multifunctional object for the home.
