Anchoring the design is a monolithic cube of Verde Alpi marble, its deep green surface flecked with serpentine veining. From its center, a cantilevered slab of raw-edge limestone extends outward, its pale, fossil-rich texture offering tonal contrast and material tension.

Architectural in posture, the piece reflects Italian postmodernism’s fascination with mass, volume, and geological expression.

Condition: Great vintage condition, with light surface scuffs and wear to the bottom of the base. One corner has a minor previous repair. The limestone top slides into a slit in the base. See less
