Marble doesn’t just cover surfaces—it sets the tone and rhythm of a room. Its color, veining, and texture interact with light throughout the day, creating subtle shifts that make a space feel alive. When paired with materials like warm wood, soft textiles, or cool metals, marble balances contrast and harmony, giving interiors depth and layered interest.

In our projects, we consider how each slab will be experienced—from the way a countertop catches morning light to how a wall panel frames a view. Veins can guide the eye, highlight architectural features, or create focal points, while texture and finish contribute to the room’s tactile and visual atmosphere.

What is cannage? Cannage is a weaving technique using natural plant fibers—specifically rattan cane—mainly applied to create the seat or backrest of a chair. Rattan cane is a plant known for its flexibility and exceptional strength, making it ideal for this traditional craft.

Cannage was imported from Asia by our English and Dutch neighbors in the 1660s. Its popularity grew in the 1700s when it began to be used in royal court furniture, thanks to its many advantages—namely, its strength and lightness.

The apartment was perfectly liveable, but I knew I wanted it to better reflect my personality and lifestyle. I envisioned something calm and natural, with character—a space filled with light, warm tones, and thoughtful details.

Guided by a vision of simplicity and subtle elegance, the project became more than just a renovation — it was a journey of trust, collaboration, and personal growth.
