Edition 001Block TVN-2025-047·Extracted Q3 2024Tivoli quarry, Roman region

Travertine forms slowly. In Tivoli, water rich in calcium emerges from limestone, deposits its carbonate over centuries, and leaves behind a stone the Romans built their city with.

This piece is cut from a single block of Roman travertine, quarried near Tivoli, where the same beds supplied the columns and façades that still stand. Sides are left raw, revealing the natural pores, calcite veining, and sedimentary strata of the formation. The top is honed flat: smooth to the hand, dry underfoot. More on travertine.

The Plinth occupies the ground like architecture. Set beside a reading chair, beneath a window facing east, or at the foot of a bed: the stone receives the light differently through the day. It carries a lamp, a stack of books, a glass of water through the night.

Living with stone is not the same as living with wood. It does not warm to your touch. It holds the room’s temperature, then releases it back. Over years, a patina settles into the honed surface: the trace of every glass, every page, every quiet hour.

Each Plinth is extracted, shaped, and shipped to a single destination. Once placed, it is rarely moved.
