A unique block of marble in the world, a masterpiece of nature. Inspired by the beauty and uniqueness of the material, designer Roberto Lazzeroni created "Infinito∞", a table sculpture with an amazing scenic impact. With this table-object d'art, Poltrona Frau seeks to reiterate the real meaning of contemporary luxury: one that can only come from materials of absolute quality, from profound design and from unrivalled handicraft and productive skill.
It all started at a quarry in Turkey where the precious 'Rosso Lepanto' marble was extracted, characterised by tones ranging from red to violet, and embellished with white streaks. Owing to some unknown and inexplicable natural event, a small, confined section of the mountain took on a deep sage tone with shades of darker green, crossed by the typical clear veining and some small reddish inclusions of the original colour. A natural, unrepeatable texture, unique in each table produced. The offset, double-oval shape in part recalls the complementary shapes of yin and yang, in part an overturned 8, the symbol of endless perfection and prosperity: hence the name. Each foot is carved from a single block of white Carrara marble, milled by a robotic arm of special dimensions and hand-finished, but the result is anything but heavy: the shape of a tree opening outwards with its branches, expressing lightness and dynamism and further enhancing the table's elegance and strong sculptural value.
Given the exceptional nature of the material, the series can never be replicated.
