Symposion — Chair

The Symposion chair is a unique piece carved from fragments of Arabescato Fantastico marble, conceived as both a sculptural presence and a functional seat. It extends the collection’s exploration of conversation, the body, and the deep time embedded within the material.

Designed as an autonomous, almost architectural form, the chair recalls a reassembled ruin: an arrangement of blocks with deliberately restrained proportions, where each element retains its own mineral identity. The design is reduced to its essentials, allowing the stone to dictate the form and establish its own rhythm.

The seat is subtly hollowed, offering a composed and measured comfort. Rather than imposing a posture, it suggests a way of sitting upright, attentive, open to exchange. The chair thus becomes a threshold object, positioned between rest and alertness, between sculpture and use.

Satin-polished surfaces alternate with more raw finishes, revealing the marble’s veining, irregularities, and internal tensions. Each chair is singular, shaped by the irreproducible nature of the geological fragment from which it is carved.

At the intersection of furniture, sculpture, and architecture, the Symposion chair does not seek to fade into its surroundings, but to inhabit space fully as a contemporary vestige, designed to be experienced.
