The Italian company Marmo Arredo sent us the following project description:
There is a silent beauty that flows through the material when it is treated with respect, intuition, and mastery. We find this beauty in a private residence in Cittadella, the result of a refined renovation in which Marmo Arredo has interpreted natural stone as a design gesture, transforming it into a living, narrative, and architectural element. Cittadella is a famous medieval walled city in the northern Italian province of Padua, where Marmo Arredo is also located.
The project blends discreetly into the memory of the place, preserving the building’s original floors and combining history with new materials that dialogue harmoniously with the space.
The kitchen, sculpted in Quartzite Taj Mahal, reveals itself as an elegant and functional monolith: the countertop with peninsula and integrated sink, the wall cladding, and the shelves are all made from the same material, creating a visual and tactile continuum that blends naturalness with precision.
In the bathrooms, the material becomes the absolute protagonist: in the master bathroom, polished Calacatta Vagli Oro, book-matched, envelops walls and floor, while the vanity top, crafted from a single block, houses two seamlessly carved sinks, enhancing the marble’s veining in a continuous, uninterrupted surface.
A similar solution defines the second bathroom, clad in Calacatta Borghini, also book-matched, with a monolithic top that hosts sinks as if they were natural forms emerging from the stone.
In the third bathroom, the chromatic contrast between polished Nero Portoro Imperiale and a freestanding cylindrical Calacatta sink with fluted finish introduces a more sculptural and a bold note.
In the night area as well, stone discreetly and coherently accompanies the furnishings: storage units are completed with Calacatta Monet tops.
In the living area, instead, two custom-made tables express a creative spirit. The first, in Cipollino Rosso from the Chiglia collection developed in collaboration with Stefano Boeri Interiors; the second, in Classic Travertine, stands out for its base sculpted from a single block into two adjoining, fused cylinders, with a “cross-cut” finish that traces the horizontal veining of the travertine in a refined material interplay. The top, instead, with a “vein-cut” finish, lightens the composition, creating a visual balance between weight and suspension.
In every space, Marmo Arredo demonstrates its ability to transform stone into language, blending artisanal expertise and design sensitivity into a poetic vision of space, where every surface becomes a story, and every vein a part of an intimate, measured, and timeless narrative.
“We are a group of stone professionals, who work by always putting beauty, the most precious element in the world, at the centre of every project. Every day, we cultivate beauty, handing it down from generation to generation and taking it everywhere, from our local area to cities, homes and the heart of all the people who choose us,” as said on the webpage.
