In a Shiro Kuramata-esque move, British-based practitioner Max Lamb created his own material called Marmoreal—an engineered material created by binding pieces of marble with a polyester resin. Unlike Kuramata's delicate terrazzo, the scale of Lamb's aggregates is super sized to create a grand visual effect. But similarly, the composite of Rosso Verona, Giallo Mori, Verde Alpi and Bianco Verona marbles can be deployed as a surface and material for furniture.
