Radiant shapes, silky matt finishes or relief textures, and unique marble quality and nuances: these are Kreoo’s Precious and Dawn vase collections. Both designed by Christophe Pillet, and carved from solid blocks, they revisit the amphora theme. It is declined with attention to detail and material interplays, resulting in decorative objects dedicated to indoor and outdoor spaces.
Dawn includes elegant monolithic furnishings in two dimensional variants, where the great history of marble and the brand’s craftsmanship in its processing is expressed. The material becomes sculpture, expressed through simple volumes, and slightly tapered profiles. Overlaid with an unusual three-dimensional texture, a soft grid is moulded in natural stone, which is sculpted and then chiselled by hand to enhance its characteristics. This precious texture is framed by two thin bands at the base and upper edge, in the same type of marble, which can be selected from the four catalogue proposals.
The design of Precious, on the other hand, is a contemporary homage to ancient Mediterranean civilisations. Reiterated through the choice of Breccia di Sicilia and Broccatello Viola marble, it’s a reinterpretation of archaic imagery in a new material dimension. Three vases make up this family. Carved from solid blocks, they’re hollowed out and furrowed by a subtle milling in the upper part of the product. An ornamental, light sign enriches the sinuous profile, further enhanced by the extraordinary stone veining, blending with the colours of the earth and nature.
