It is the first product made with Marwoolus. Marwoolus is a material invented by Marco Guazzini composed of Carrara marble powder mixed with wool fibers and a bi-component binder. The sinuous shapes and the stylized landscapes designed by the colored wool fibers recall the decorations of the Chinese ceramics of the Ming dynasty that inspired this product.
