Pattern Cut Console Breccia Medicea and Faux Marble

This console is Storms’ ultimate tribute to a remarkable type of natural stone. The Breccia Medicea di Siena from Tuscany is renowned for its rare beauty, with distinctive patterns and warm hues. Storms opted for a sleek, beam-shaped stone, and the meticulous surface treatment highlights its exceptional qualities. The stone rests on a plinth made using the recently developed Pattern Cut technique, which, although visually similar to the Crushed technique, enables greater control over the expression of curves.
While the pedestal may look like stone, it is in truth crafted from metal. Like a Faux Jumeau, it was then painted meticulously and skilfully. The design was marbled in collaboration with Pierre-Yves Morel, who has mastered this technique like no other. The beautiful stone that is so aptly imitated here is one of the most difficult to copy. The design therefore demonstrates both unique craftsmanship and a tribute to nature in every respect.
