For some, marble design is synonymous with heavy, dated design that commands all the attention in a room. We want you to know that this doesn’t always have to be the case! For marble décor to feel sexy and modern, its design should feel contemporary. While the stone itself is important (the colour, the veining, the durability and so on), the shape of a marble piece and what it references should be equally considered. Marble plinths, for example, mimic the classical composition of columns seen in early structures. A marble surface or tray feels reminiscent of the interior archicture from antique villas. While both of these examples are beautiful in their own right, many assume that all marble décor has to be of the old world. In launching two new collections of marble accessories, Greg Natale is setting the record straight. Cue the Polar Marble Accessories and the 1978 Vases!
A trusted name in the design world, Greg’s work often has an identifiable architectural vein running through it. These two new releases are no exception. With references to the work of famous architects Oscar Niemeyer and Paul Rudolf, these marble collections have an undeniable modern appeal to them. Each stone included in both collections is thoughtfully selected for its earthy, organic appeal. Selecting marble for its earthiness and elemental beauty is a contemporary approach to an antique material.
Polar Marble is back by popular demand. Greg Natale’s Polar design presents a symmetrical fusion of two contrasting marble pieces, now with the softness of a curved edge. In four unique stone pairings, this collection of marble décor comprises a bowl, coasters, and a decorative tray.
The second collection of new marble décor is the 1978 Vase. These stunning vases boast clean lines and an asymmetrical composition highlighted by the natural veining of five different stones. This original design was created in homage to a year where art and culture converged to inspire a new era of design.
The Polar Marble and 1978 collections are the newest additions to Greg Natale’s 2024 homewares range. Each design is carved from a different marble and honed for a smooth-to-the-touch finish to continue the designer’s exploration of the artistic qualities within natural stones.
