Furniture in natural stone has had a long tradition in the history of design. In this field, the designer collective Grande is opening up new paths. Its collection of furniture and objects in stone originated in the desire to make a meaningful use of the left-over materials to be found in natural stone works. Inspired by composite materials like laminated wood, the designers came up with the idea of sticking relatively thin natural stone slabs together and so endowing them with very much enhanced stability. The joints have been made clearly visible as a result of the dyeing of the adhesive and become a programmatic aesthetic element in the designs. In keeping with the material, this natural stone furniture from Grande is characterised by a constructively architectural formal idiom. Conceptually situated between design and art, it will unfold its sculptural qualities in a living space with effect.
