It is a post-modern contemporary and geometrical reinterpretation of those natural phenomena and it outlines profiles and silhouettes, which create reflections that resemble faces and their expressions.
The shapes that are generated by this artistic practice are then isolated, simplified and embedded in the composition that gives life to a tub or a sink.

The choice of maintaining simple almost rigorous shapes, which counteract the typical streaks of Orobic Arabesque, is a gesture of consideration that preserves the lively and enchanting complexity and richness of colours. Because even the slightest inappreciable error produced by a possible formal excess, could surely generate confusion and hide reliefs and decorations, which play such a lead role in this case.

 Marea was the winner of the “Icon Award” 2018 and thereby became the new image for the Marmomac 2019 communication campaign.

The Liquido, Solido, Litico exhibition sets off from the central theme of the Hall – water – to analyse its ancient bond with stone in greater detail: two natural elements whose destiny is to model each other. Water, whose perpetual cycle of flowing down towards the sea erodes rocks, and stone, that holds and embraces shapeless liquid in its cavities.
Mankind has also become involved in this relationship: since ancient times, people have carved the hardest and most resistant material to make hollow, sloping and smooth objects to contain, channel and flow water that simply cannot be gripped in our hands.
This event experiments with new forms and functions of products in stone intended for use with water through implementations characterised by innovative numerical control machining operations.
