Description

y = ax² + bx + c. Revolve and cut in half.

The Parabola design starts from a simple formula, transformed into a physical object.

Made from Lipica Fiorito stone, a limestone from the Karst region between Italy and Slovenia. Fiorito (“floral”) refers to its pattern, formed over millions of years, containing fragments of shells, microorganisms, and corals. Its curve highlights these fossils, making each piece unique and creating a meeting of geometry, geology, and craft.

Every piece is handcrafted by local artisans, continuing a stone-working tradition rooted in Roman‑era quarries.

Natural irregularities and subtle imperfections are part of the handcrafted process.
Uncoated stone may stain if it comes into contact with organic or oily substances.
