Stone Cloud 4 by Aline Asmar D’Amman is part of the ‘Stone Cloud’ collection, a series of singular side tables with a bold mineral and sculptural presence. Combining rare and forgotten marbles grafted onto the Vicenza hard stone – considered for its great resistance as a stone cutting bed – the pieces pay tribute to high craft and salvaged beauty. The creation of these unusual functional sculptures is defined by intuitive encounters with rare, recovered grey and pink Onyx, an evocation of sensuality through imperfection.
Celebrating stone as a monomaterial in a pure expression of architectural constructions, the new series continues a work initiated in collaboration with the third generation of the historical marble makers of Laboratorio Morseletto in Vincenza, Northern Italy, this time handed down by women. Each piece is hand sculpted by the finest italian makers encapsulating the spirit of a unique collectible functional sculpture.
Echoing questions about the mystique of matter, the symbolism of the pieces responds to the question investigated by the French essayist and academic Roger Caillois in his celebrated essay ‘The Reading of Stones’ where figures from the astral imagination are found in the depths of the earth.
These ultra-functional sculptures and totally unique pieces continue the quest between brutalism and high craftsmanship, rarity and upcycling, charged with meaning and symbolism.
