Strata Bench
Strata Bench by Esther Knopfler is a sculptural bench that embodies the poetry of functional design. Drawing inspiration from geological strata and natural formations, Knopfler shapes marble with a sensitivity that transcends mere materiality. The work emerges from a desire to capture fluidity in a material renowned for its density and permanence. “I seek to reveal the soul of marble, to give an impression of lightness and movement through precise work on shapes and volumes,” explains Knopfler. Carved from a block of marble carefully selected for its unique veins and incomparable texture, Strata Bench demonstrates artisanal excellence. The marble, coming from renowned Italian quarries, is transformed with ancestral techniques combined with cutting-edge technologies, allowing subtle curves and impeccable surfaces to be created.
