Drap Bowl #1 by Paolo Ulian

When water-jet cutting operates on high thicknesses of marble, it tends to lose its precision in the final part of the thickness, producing ripples on the surface. This characteristic, usually considered a defect, is here underlined and brought out to transform itself into a new aesthetic quality that ideally recalls the effect of a draped fabric. It was thought to use this peculiarity of the cut to obtain rings of various heights, thin and light and characterized by a rippled surface.
