Description from the seller
This exclusive Set of two (2) Plinths features the sought-after natural Onyx, a material celebrated for its ethereal transparency and warm, crystalline depth. Handcrafted in Italy, this duo (H75 and H50) is designed for collectors seeking to integrate a high-luxury focal point into their architectural interiors.
The Onyx highlights a sophisticated palette of cream, sand, and amber tones. Each facet reveals the geological history of the stone, with its characteristic clouded patterns that react beautifully to ambient light. This set is particularly effective when placed in spaces where natural light can enhance its natural translucency.
Both the plinths are finely handcrafted in Italy, employing innovative manufacturing technique. This advanced process results in a final product that possesses the monolithic presence and aesthetic of a solid block of onyx, yet remains surprisingly lightweight and easy to move.
**Materials**: Onyx, extra-thin
**Finish**: Polished
**Dimensions** (Large): H 75 x W 30 x D 30 cm
**Dimensions** (Small): H 50 x 25 x 25 cm
**Combined Weight**: ~35 kg

Please notice that all Formaminima pieces are handmade with natural materials, such as marble and onyx, which can differ from block to block and slab to slab. As a result, each piece may exhibit variations in color, shade, texture, pores, and mineral intrusion compared to what is portrayed. This characteristic is an asset that adds value to the final product, making it unique and exclusive.
**The set is secured in custom crating. For this auction, the International insured shipping is included as a complimentary service for all EU destinations.
