Brainchild of Italian-based husband-and-wife duo Shilpa Srinivas and Paolo Ciacci, Stone Stackers is a young brand wedded to the ethics of sustainability through its singular marble collections. Their partnership with renowned marble company Simeg Marmi gives artists access to discarded marble chunks, which are creatively reused and reassembled in artful designs coupling exceptional functionality and seductive aesthetics. The freedom intrinsic to the crafting process is embodied in every single piece, which is unrivaled in its execution and will withstand the test of time.
Metamorphose discarded marble into desirable creations, extending their lifespan and value through imaginative processes, giving them a second life that was once abandoned
Founded by the husband-and-wife duo Shilpa Srinivas and Paolo Ciacci, Stone Stackers brand is deeply classical and highly contemporary. The idea of reclaiming and re-purposing discarded marble into works of practical art is at the forefront of a global movement that champions conscious provenance and sustainability in design.
The act of intelligently re-imagining the off-cuts of once ancient stone – by-products of the unsustainable quarry of marble – and creating ultra-modern pieces designed to last a lifetime is both an act of entrepreneurial creativity and altruistic environmentalism.
The duality of old and new – of creating something from nothing – is further reflected in the real-world union of the company’s founders, Paolo Ciacci and Shilpa Srinivas.
Their individual experiences and common vision have given birth not only to a new enterprise but an original interpretation of the eternal value and beauty of stone.
Embracing the oddly broken shapes of the marble to integrate into their designs is a mindful choice to celebrate imperfection. In the hands of experienced artisans at Simeg Marmi their partner company, these remnants become the medium for a striking transformation. The restoration process begins with cleaning and assessing the damage. Cracks, chips, and discoloration are carefully addressed, with the goal of preserving the marble's unique characteristics. This meticulous restoration work is not merely technical; it requires a deep understanding of the material and an artistic vision.
