Each features a bold stacked geometric silhouette combining cylindrical sections with rounded, bulbous forms, giving the pair a distinctly architectural and modernist presence.

An especially interesting characteristic of the stone is its reaction to heat: when warmed by a burning candle, the stone temporarily deepens in color, becoming noticeably darker. As it cools, it returns to its usual charcoal tone. This natural heat-responsive quality adds an unusual visual element to the pieces.

The stone displays subtle variations in color and texture, with polished sections contrasting against softer matte surfaces. Substantial and sculptural, the pair works particularly well in Brutalist, organic modern and eclectic interiors. Sold as a pair. See less
