ROUND x LE MARBLE by TOTAL MARBLE

Reinterpreting discarded marble offcuts into a creative design
2021-10-13411


round and LE MARBLE designed the “Building” line that pursues sustainability with discarded marble offcuts. It is a furniture design that introduces a modular system to give off the feeling of craft and industry at the same time with all different kinds of marble with various colors. The round metal pipe inside holds the structure together, and the donut-shaped modules are inserted into the pipe in any order you like, giving each table a different look. The flow and balance stand out when several colors are combined together. The modular system of the “Building” series has infinite possibilities and can be used not only as a dining table but also as a side table or sofa table depending on the combinations you choose. They tried to bring out the natural beauty without polishing the traces of laser processing left after cutting marble.


round designer Jisun Kim said that the collaboration made her realize the potential and charm of marble. She added that it was a great opportunity to study the processing method and to create a valuable design using discarded marble based on the message of sustainability. LE MARBLE designer Yeonjin Kim said that she always thinks about and studies the material of natural marble, which is not easily accessible, to show its various possibilities. It was a great opportunity to deliver the message of sustainability without difficulty in collaboration with the artist Jisun Kim who researches a variety of materials.
