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.

The Floral BOTTIC MARBLE

The floral is a prized and very old variety of the Italian marble BOTTICINO, from whose town in the province of Brescia, takes its name.

Due to its bright and valuable appearance, it has been used since ancient times for monumental achievements, and still lends itself to many uses.

Fairly uniform in texture, it has a light beige background color. The term “flowery” derives its name from its peculiar white clouds and shades, which precisely resemble the shape of flowers.

Decorating the home: marble as a timeless choice.

The need to decorate family and home environments originates in the oldest traditions. Not only through objects and decorations can we express our personality, but we can change the atmosphere of a room with just a few touches and without substantial intervention.

The choice of marble for complements, decorative objects and home accessories combines elegance, value and durability, giving every room in the home a timeless appeal. It is in association with contemporary furniture and materials such as brass and wood that marble has regained its value as a noble yet versatile material. More than ever before, marble is rising to the rank of timeless trends, and establishing itself as the prince of materials.

Always used for large coverings such as floors, stairs and kitchen tops, today its intrinsic preciousness is rediscovered even in small and precious objects or elegant and sumptuous furnishing accessories.
