Future of Natural Stone homeware makes marble "dynamic"

Progetto99 Stone Design is a studio founded by Niccolò Garbati that spans the fields of architecture and product design.

During the Fuorisalone collaboration, it is introducing a homeware collection called Future of Natural Stone that combines marble with modern technology. It comprises a modular bookcase, bench and floor lamp.

Each piece is made from Calacatta, Calacatta Macchia Vecchia, Breccia Capraia marble and incorporates electronic devices that are activated by touch and contact. In the bench design, this includes electronic induction sensors hidden within its armrests that act as wireless charging points.

According to the studio, the collection offers a "future vision of natural stone" that allows people to "interact with the marble, making it dynamic".
