ÉDITIONS SINGULIÈRES — COLLECTOR WORKS
The piece is conceived as a folded mass — a compact architectural gesture carved from a single block of marble. Reduced to an intimate scale, it explores the relationship between weight and void, presenting stone not as a rigid volume but as a form capable of movement, compression, and quiet tension. The body rises from the floor as a rounded monolith before folding inward along a single vertical incision. Measuring 46 centimetres in width, 40 centimetres in depth, and 44 centimetres in height, the object occupies space with unusual density, appearing simultaneously grounded and light. The silhouette remains uninterrupted, allowing the eye to follow a continuous sweep of stone around a concealed interior cavity. Carved entirely by hand from solid natural marble, each piece reveals the unique character of its material through veining, tonal variation, and subtle mineral movement. Available in Statuario Venato, Bianco Carrara, or Calacatta, the stone is finished with a honed matte surface that softens reflection and emphasizes the sculptural quality of the carved planes. Light travels gently across the curved body, gathering at the fold and disappearing into shadow within the opening. The defining gesture is the vertical fold itself. What appears at first as a monolithic stone volume gradually reveals an internal void, created by the body folding back upon itself. The opening is not decorative but structural to the composition, introducing a tension between solidity and absence that gives the work its presence. Viewed from different angles, the object shifts between sculpture, architectural fragment, and domestic monument. The broad curved surfaces read as a single continuous form, while the folded aperture introduces depth, rhythm, and a sense of latent movement within the stone. Suited to collectors’ interiors, gallery settings, private residences, and architectural environments where a compact object is asked to anchor a room, define a threshold, or act as a sculptural focal point — a monolithic marble form conceived as an exploration of mass, fold, and silence.
