Fragments Sustainable Decorative Objects

Fragmentos was inspired by the possibility of seeing value where others might see waste. I wanted to give discarded marble a new purpose, preserving its natural beauty while creating objects with their own identity.

The collection follows a circular design principle: material removed from one piece becomes the starting point for another. I was also inspired by the way nature transforms materials over time, revealing beauty in their variations and imperfections.

My main focus was to bring together sustainability, functionality and a sophisticated aesthetic. I wanted to show that responsible design can result in objects with a strong sculptural presence and lasting appeal.

Rather than treating sustainability as an added feature, I made it part of the design process from the beginning, considering how the marble could be used as efficiently as possible.

I would like to expand the visibility of Fragmentos and explore opportunities to bring the collection to new markets through carefully selected partnerships.

I am also interested in continuing to develop the concept, exploring new objects and ways to apply the same design principle while respecting the identity and quality of the original collection.

Thank you — I'm happy you noticed this aspect of the work, because it truly reflects the heart of Fragmentos. The nested manufacturing process wasn’t just a design solution, it was a philosophy that emerged naturally as I engaged more deeply with the material. I was working with marble remnants — beautiful but often discarded pieces — and I saw potential in every fragment.Instead of treating waste as a byproduct, I began to see it as the beginning of the next object. From the core of a table, a vase was born; from the core of the vase, a candleholder took shape. Each negative became a positive, and this nesting of forms allowed me to honor the full life cycle of the stone. It was an organic evolution — both creative and ethical — that challenged me to think not only in terms of aesthetics, but also in terms of continuity, responsibility, and storytelling.In the end, Fragmentos became a celebration of what remains — a poetic way of turning absence into presence.

For me, combining craftsmanship with CNC technology was never about contrast, but about continuity. The hand and the machine aren’t in opposition — they complement each other when guided by clear intention. Fragments was born from a desire to offer a new perspective on what is typically discarded, and to do that, it was essential to merge the artisan’s sensibility with the precision of digital tools.CNC allowed me to extract the maximum potential from each piece of marble — with accuracy and minimal waste, something that would be nearly impossible to achieve through manual processes alone. But it’s in the hands of the craftspeople that each object truly gains its soul: the touch, the polishing, the final detailing. It’s the subtle imperfection that gives the piece its identity.This fusion not only deepened our commitment to sustainability, but also made it possible to reach a visual and tactile softness — a quiet aesthetic that feels almost as though the object emerged naturally from the stone itself. I believe it’s this balance between technical precision and human gesture that truly brings Fragments to life.

That was, perhaps, the most beautiful challenge of the Fragments collection — to elevate what was once considered waste into something worthy of admiration, care, and presence. I’ve always believed that luxury is not about excess, but about intention. True elegance lies in the way we choose, the way we craft, and the meaning we assign to materials.The marble offcuts I worked with carried scars, irregularities, and unpredictable veins — and instead of hiding them, I chose to reveal and celebrate them. Each imperfection became a feature. Each fragment, a story. The design process focused on enhancing these unique characteristics, framing them within soft, fluid forms that speak of refinement and timelessness.By combining thoughtful design with artisanal finishing and high-precision technology, I was able to maintain the tactile and visual richness expected in luxury pieces, while embedding them with a deeper value — one that honors both the material and the act of transformation. That, to me, is the new definition of luxury: beauty with purpose.
