Ashes marble box, a treasure chest.

An oppositions where the humility of the ashes gives way to the preciousness of the objects to enclose. A box with joints which provides a different function: an ashtray becomes a treasure chest. This round box is composed of two pieces - the top in black Marquina marble and the base in white Carrara marble - that can be stacked or used separately. The base and rim of the two pieces form an intriguing black-and-white interlocked pattern. Every Ashes is made unique by the natural veins of the marble. Two single pieces of marble are carved and polished by hand in Italy. Photo credits: Gaetano del Mauro

The preparation and consumption of food are primordial practices, and constitute an interesting condensed of the characters of every culture. Designing instruments to carry out these processes means to establish a ‘intimate’ contact with the user.

 

Studio Lievito designs archetypal objects dedicated to those who love the unexpected. The meeting of essential forms and traditional materials opens our daily experience to a metaphysical dimension. Small sense of short circuits in a limited edition to reinvent the domestic routine, with irony.

 

Each piece is meticulously handmade: the Studio wants to promote a ‘slow design’ that subverts conventional decor norms by means of simple yet witty gestures and accurate detailing.
