Marble is ubiquitous and has moved far beyond countertops and backsplashes (although the stone still makes a magical statement on those surfaces). Today, marble is taking center stage throughout the home. Below, you’ll find dazzling pieces that will inspire and enrich almost any space, such as this Kips Bay Decorator Show House room (above) by designer Michelle Gerson, who blanketed richly veined marble from Artistic Tile not only on the cabinet counters, but also on the cabinet doors—each of which weighs 75 pounds! For the floor, she chose her own Slide design from Artistic Tile that features Nero Marquina and Calacatta Viola marble. The only difficult part used to be how to select just one; however, as Gerson shows, you don’t have to choose—the sky’s the limit.
MARMI
With its rounded sides and open shelves, the Hamilton Demilune Vanity from the company’s Edition No. 2 Collection balances a striking scale with subtle intersections, primal geometries and the rhythmic fluting that captures light and shadow on its façade.
KALLISTA
From the 002TM Collection, this premium Pressure Balance single control shower trim with upgraded cross handle will elevate any contemporary or transitional bathroom setting. A jewelry-inspired handle featuring hand-crafted Italian Statuary White Carrara is just one of multiple stone and finish options.
ROCHE BOBOIS
The simple tubular structure of the Mileto Console is a striking design for showcasing a mix of Carrara and Grey marbles. The piece is also avalable in a Rosso Levanto marble.
GIORGETTI
The Mistral table features a perfect match between the marble top and the ash wood legs, reminiscent of a boat’s sails unfurled by the wind.
WATERWORKS
The Alatri is carved from a hand-selected block of highly figured Prunella marble, projecting modern
elegance on an epic scale. The tub’s hand-finished details include a flat band at the base and gently eased lip.
SUTHERLAND
The Hurel Zigi table is carved from solid Carrara marble, and adds a sculptural note to any outdoor (or indoor) setting.
GLORIA CORTINA
The sculpting of the Fidus chair, which can stand alone or be fitted together with the Semper chair, is a relatively restrained combination of radiuses and straight edges. The chair’s lines, combined with the thick, dark layers of red onyx, give Fidus—Latin for trusted—a solidly grounded aura. The chair’s sculpted form, like the onyx, radiates a strong sense of ancient origins. Yet, when connected to the Semper chair, a transformation takes place: it’s as if a primeval object has evolved through time into something more artfully modern.
