The story

Uovo is carved from a solid block of marble until only an egg-like vessel remains — a thick rim, a softly hollowed interior, an exterior worn smooth by hand. Neither sculpture nor object of use, it is quietly both.

Form and proportion

Proportion is integral to the design of Uovo. In the listed format — L 45 × W 32 × H 14 cm — the design considers the object’s scale, its carved volume and the relationship between the stone and the surface on which it is placed. The breccia or carrara marble and honed finish are not additions to the form: they make its volumes, surfaces and the natural movement of the stone legible.

For a bespoke version, size and proportion, stone selection, honed or polished finish and interior depth can be considered together. The conversation begins with the space and desired proportion, then develops through dialogue, drawing and proportion studies in close exchange with the workshop. Each choice is treated as part of one composition, allowing the piece to respond to its setting without losing the gesture that defines Uovo.
