DP Curates: Elevate Your Space With These 5 Must-Have Marble Statement Pieces

There is an indisputable grandeur about marble and other fine stones. With its smooth, cool texture adding a tactile dimension to a room, incorporating marble into one’s visual language can enhance the sense of space, while offsetting the warmer tones of earthier materials like rattan or wood. By moving beyond traditional applications, marble and natural stones from the metamorphic family can be reimagined to create striking, functional pieces of décor, statement furniture and even large-scale installations that can imbue a timeless appeal to any space. In a page borrowed from Neoclassical architecture, DP explores the untapped potential residing within marble’s intricate beauty to compile a series of 5 must-have contemporary artefacts that can change the way you envision home interiors.

 1. Dip Your Feet In The Kora Tub by Valueline 

To be soaked within artistic vision is now highly desirable for discerning homeowners who prefer to think of their bathrooms as their unique spas. Supported by a gold or dark-bronze finish base, Kreoo’s latest lineup of solid-form Kora tubs by Valueline ooze irreverent charisma. Sumptuous in its fluid geometry, this unibody masterpiece has been composed by the Venetian industrial designer Enzo Berti and is available in seven different kinds of marble from the ever-reliable Calacatta Classico to the slightly imperious looking Grigio St. Marie. Its sensational upper profile of variable heights, free-flowing craftsmanship and long-lasting functionality is a testament to how innovative Valueline aspires to be.

 3. Watch Nature Bloom With The Oculus Console by Atelier Ashiesh Shah

At first glance, the Console’s punctured top surface offers a visual contrast to its grand cosmic egg-shaped base. This form, deeply rooted in Indian geometry and symbolic of Lord Shiva, is central to the design, embodying an uncanny spiritual significance. Carved from a meticulously chosen block of white marble, the Oculus Console from Atelier Ashiesh Shah features an integrated planter that gracefully glides across the upper void, adding a touch of life to the sculptural object. Each element, from the fluid lines to the scrupulously calibrated proportions, speaks to the skillful craftsmanship of Rajasthan marble, known for its durability and exquisite finish. This piece of functional art subtly integrates as a conversation starter or simply a refined vase.

 5. Feel Enchanted With The Heron Column by Ira Udaipur

Unlike marble, soapstone is non-porous, so it doesn’t absorb liquids and is highly resistant to staining. This chief distinction makes this material — in many other ways similar to marble — a more fitting choice for tableware, home décor and accent pieces that are usually placed in high-traffic areas of your home.  Heron Column by Ira Udaipur will add an understated, rustic charm with a surprising touch of heritage flair. The brass heron on a pedestal with its polished golden sheen, exudes a sense of regal grace.
