The Papilio Collection includes two designs (Mini & Magno) inspired by the life stages of butterflies (from the Latin Papilio). The sustainable stone components identify the extension of the body, the wings and antennas, while the painted glass cylinder outlines the abdomen.
The stone, a testament to our commitment to sustainability, is meticulously handcrafted from fragments of natural Italian rocks sourced from Tuscany and Veneto. This innovative material, inspired by ancient Roman techniques, is truly one-of-a-kind as it does not contain glue or cement. It is dried naturally in the open air, under the sun, to ensure ever greater environmental sustainability.
The surface of the handcrafted stone piece is treated with an ecological substance developed by COKI.
The glass and stone components are not glued and can be separate, disassembled, and ready for new uses.
The stone's color becomes brighter and clearer within 2-3 months due to the natural absorption process of the surface treatment, which is based on ancient techniques of the artisan tradition.
