The hypnotic black and white stripes of the new Nova collection, designed by Jacopo Simonetti, offer a versatile way to add personality to your interior, a classic that never gets old, and that will bring you to a fascinated universe.
Nova collection puts on stage a new technique with which to create complex forms that finely and lightly mix different coloured marbles cloves of significant depth.
This allows the creation of fine objects with intermixed color cloves and the effect given by a solid work, at a third of the apparent weight.
Designer imagination acquires a new dimension inside which to move "lightly".
It is not by chance that Jacopo, invented and used first this technique.
Born at the feet of the marble white Apuan Alps, young designer and master of marble working technique, with a degree from "Accademia delle Belle Arti” in Carrara, he is the third generation specimen of a family dealing with marble processing in all its way, not limited to: manual, machining, sawing, engraving, sculpturing.

Nova, is like a solid representation of an expansion-explosion, as we see in some of NASA pictures taken from deep space of stars arrived at a end of one of their life cycles, NOVA isometric explosions, one of the more terrific and magnificent event of pure energy display in our Universe.
Jacopo Simonetti, enchanted by the natural forces and beautifulness, was willing to use marble to represent the strength of this almost incredible display of force, a wave of particles energised, moving almost at light speed, leaving back a swept space and a very tiny still alive stellar nucleus.
All the objects of Nova family (tables, bowls, candle holder and vase) bring with them the primeval brute and magnificent force of stellar collapse and energy creation.
