The collaboration between Pistore Marmi and sculptor Riccardo Gatti stems from a profound dialogue between material and vision, between the artisanal expertise of marble craftsmanship and the free expressiveness of artistic language.

From this encounter emerges Onyx Bloom, a sculptural centerpiece that transcends the function of a decorative object to become a true work of art to be contemplated. Crafted from red onyx—a material chosen for its natural ability to interact with light and reveal ever-changing depths—the piece unfolds as an organic gesture, suspended between balance and movement.
Matter as Language
Every creation by Pistore Marmi X Riccardo Gatti stems from a direct relationship with natural stone. Not merely a material, but a living, unique, and one-of-a-kind element that guides the design from its very earliest stages.
In Onyx Bloom, the veins of the onyx become an integral part of the composition: they are not merely highlighted, but interpreted. The stone opens up, curves, and layers, giving rise to a form that evokes a flower at the moment of its blooming—fragile and powerful at the same time.
Art and Craft in Harmony
For Pistore Marmi, the collaboration with Riccardo Gatti represents another step forward in our exploration of the intersection between design and contemporary art. The sculptor’s work introduces a more intuitive and gestural dimension, which complements the technical rigor and in-depth knowledge of the material that characterize our approach.
The result is a work that does not arise from the simple design of an object, but from a shared process, in which the material itself suggests directions, limits, and possibilities.
A project celebrating the beauty of natural stone
Onyx Bloom embodies the desire to create unique pieces that highlight the intrinsic beauty of natural stone without altering its identity, but rather enhancing it.
Every detail is the result of meticulous and precise craftsmanship, where modern technology and traditional skills come together to shape one-of-a-kind pieces.
