As far as raw materials go, perhaps none feels more permanent than stone. It is "ingrained with geological and historical memories," the environmentalist and sculptor Andy Goldsworthy has said of the material. Put a palm against any slab and you, too, will feel its coolness as a deep connection to its source. For centuries, designers and artists have been pulled to working in stone for these very reasons. The fact that a material so popular is still able to reveal itself in surprising new forms is a testament to both the strength of contemporary designers and the stone itself.

Named after the Latin translation for modern day Tivoli, the city where Italian Travertine originates, Studio Paolo Ferrari's latest Tibur Collection introduces a monumental sofa and dining table to the Tibur Lounge—originally debuted at Colony in 2021. Each piece celebrates the tradition of stone carving and is available in multiple Travertine finishes: Classico, Titanium, Rosso and Bianco.

An ode to A Space co-founder Roza Gazarian's native Armenia, The Source collection translates the country's vibrant history and culture through reinvented forms and motifs. The collection was developed in Armenia's capital, Yerevan, fondly known as "The Pink City" for the distinct hue that volcanic tuff lends to local architecture. Brightest at sunrise and sunset, the pink palette illuminates a composite of medieval and Soviet building vernaculars. 

The reductive geometries of the eleven limited edition pieces within The Source collection  highlight the many nuances of tuff, a rock made of compacted volcanic ash, in three natural shades: red, pink and black. Each piece was hand-carved by local craftsman who have a time-honored tradition of working in the material.

The irony of Bec Brittain’s SHY Collection is just how gracefully eye-catching the fixtures are to behold. She first introduced SHY in 2011, coinciding with her studio launch in Brooklyn that same year. Design is a family affair for Bec, whose grandmother, Sarah Hitchcock Yerkes, (initials S.H.Y) was amongst the first women to receive a master’s degree in architecture from Harvard.

SHY examines form through lines of light while warm brass hardware tempers the glow and lends itself to a myriad of configurations to produce an ever evolving possibility of shape. Speaking to her inspiration, Bec notes “the SHY collection was conceived from a desire to draw with lines of light. I became captivated by the spare beauty of industrial fluorescent lighting and wanted to harness that simplicity to create more volumetric forms. SHY also marks the emergence of my systems-oriented approach: developing a set of modular components that serve as a formal "alphabet" I can revisit endlessly."
