Columns in architecture represent the cornerstones of a building, thus symbolizing stability, balance and solidity.

Like many vertical elements, they symbolically connect Earth and Sky, becoming an expression of men’s gratitude towards the gods, as well as stability, strength and perfect balance.

Imposing and elegant, marble columns are a highly effective decorative solution, suitable for any style, from classic to modern. They will easily combine with important antiques, but also with the more modern styles of liberty and rococo inspiration. In contrast with the clean lines of modern and design settings, they will instead be able to give a touch of timeless elegance.

THE MATERIAL.

Bardiglio marble is a precious Italian marble, mainly extracted in the Apuan Alps area. Compact lithotype with very fine grain, medium hardness and easy to work with, it has an overall gray colour, which makes it ideal for multiple combinations.

Bardiglio is one of the stone materials that lends itself very well to various finishes, such as polishing, sanding, resin finishing, antiquing and bush-hammering. Thanks to its qualities of resistance to bad weather and atmospheric agents, to heat and cold, it is easy to use in the creation of quality floors and coverings, both for interiors and exteriors.

Recently it is also finding an important place in the decoration of luxury interiors and in the creation of sculptures and accessories such as this column. With a strong but not intrusive character, this pair of columns in Bardiglio marble can become the focal point of an environment or an elegant and unique dividing solution.
