Materials: bardiglio marble. When waterjet cutting thick marble slabs, it tends to lose precision in the final section, producing surface ripples. This characteristic, usually considered a defect, is here highlighted and brought to the fore, transforming into a new aesthetic quality that ideally recalls the effect of draping fabric. We decided to exploit this cutting feature/characteristic/defect to obtain thin, lightweight rings of varying heights, characterized by rippled surfaces on the sides and edges. The rings are then fitted with a marble base to create various types of containers. The concentric cutting of the rings (circular, ellipsoidal, hexagonal, etc.) optimizes the volume of processed marble, allowing each block of marble to yield 5 or 6 vases, while also significantly minimizing the amount of waste. Each vase, bowl, or tray is a unique piece, absolutely unrepeatable. Bufalini continues its journey in marble, integrating its creations in the residential and commercial sectors with its research in the world of design. Bufalini is a company that has worked in the marble and stone sector for more than three hundred years, and is one of the historical names of the long artisan tradition of carrara. The fields of application of marble go beyond the architectural confines of construction and have forever filtered into the sphere of art, where its aesthetics are even more deeply enhanced. The solidity of the stone block becomes a stage for a play on contrasts between colour and the veins, innervated on the surface in a sinuous, unpredictable, and hypnotic motion. The endless potential of marble is welcomed by bufalini to continue its research, bringing marble and design together. See less
