Stone Flying | Marble Luxury pieces for your home Decor style. Artwork handmade, concept, and purpose.

The Concept

Each object claims for itself, an autonomous creative territory, stripped of function, but that simultaneously shares that duplicity and valence. All our objects are author pieces, unique copies, sculptures by definition. We wish that every piece, freed from the role, object/function, can stand on its own, as an autonomous artistic object. In fact, we want that duplicity to be revealedonly later, whether by its strategic position, whether by purpose insinuation, or even by revealing its additional functional feature. As such, while an artistic object, it will shine on any exhibition space, gallery, museum or appropriate event.

The Material

Crystal marble is our prime material, with a unique quality and transparency, which makes it the best and most expensive within the universe of ornamental rocks. We are referring to the commonly named marble of Estremoz (South Portuguese region), a marble known for its characteristics and quality.
Marble extraction started in Atlantic and Mediterranean Europe and it is currently done mostly in Estremoz, Borba and Vila Viçosa. Its color varies from white statue and pink salmon, both without hints or with hidden ones, to an abundance of veins and nuances of color, of an amazing plasticity. Click here to see our projects ».

Cochicho, Pardais - Edward Burtynsky

The Beginning

The inspiration comes from nature, from the simple and ephemeral, like the leaves, the fruits and the water. It’s all there, what we need as a tool, a chromatic scale, shape and size.
These pieces are organic, handmade and impossible to recreate through mechanical or industrial processes.

What is Goal

Truth, work, relevance. These are tools of our aestetic speech. We seek to offer our best, in what we do, we value self-esteem, and our will is an endless source of desire.
We wish, to leave a personal mark in our interventions, to emphasize the need of desire, to evoke enchantment, beauty and well-being.

The Dream

The dream commands life, so says the poet. We believe in our intuition. We want to fill our lives of beautiful objects, and give them meaning, and a solution. We want to be the difference that recreates itself. A state of soul. We want to produce objects of passion.

Authenticity and Care

Certified
All pieces are signed, dated and tagged with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Care
Do not use cleaning products that contain acid, like muriatic (Hydrochloric), caustic soda (Sodium hydroxide) or other abrasive products that can damage the stone’s surface.

The project face

LUÍS CRUZ, sculptor.
I was born in a little village in the interior of Portugal, where Nature was still pure and true. There lie my roots, my taste for the earth and its objects. I have learned the vital cycles and rituals of life, where everything matters and everything as its purpose, whether it’s a stone, a leaf, a water stream or an insect. That world of thought has never left me. On the contrary, its importance was highlighted and evolved.
