The Elliptical Collection

Our client has a passion for ellipses. It provided the architectural inspiration for his elliptical shaped home, including fixtures, fittings and  furniture. Marble was commissioned to design and produce a set of limited edition ‘design artworks’ to compliment these existing elliptical pieces, including handblown glassware, cutlery and a fine bone china dining and tea set. The design challenge was not in breaking the conventional design rules, nor conceiving an elegant yet practical form, but in sourcing local manufacturers who were willing to evolve their time honoured traditional methods to achieve the unique, complex shape to an unrivalled quality.
