Visionnaire: Marbles, 2 97

Nature is and will always be the greatest living artist, the utmost source of inspiration to produce beauty.
Varieties of marble from various parts of the world, generated by complex metamorphic processes of
stone, are the precious gems nature bestows on us, as its own exceptional works of art. The combined
action of temperature and pressure in the earth (across millions of years) generates stratification of the
original stone with resulting crystal formations that are absolutely unique and impossible to replicate.
Every block of marble taken from the same quarry (measuring about 3x1.5x1 m), though similar in color,
consistency or composition, will be different from the others, and even the slabs obtained from a single
block will have variations of form and design. Each slab, like a sculpture, therefore has unique veins and
hues, just as the possible micro cavities due to the natural process of formation of the stone are all unique.

These hollows are skillfully filled and sealed, usually making the process invisible. They are integral parts
of the slab, and as such they cannot be considered defects, if observed in the types of marble currently
included in the collection. Visionnaire guarantees constant research and quality control, as well as the
selection of the finest slabs available on the market. With certain exceptions, the company also covers
possible variations in the purchase price, considering the fact that marble is a natural material, therefore
subject to questions of availability of varieties and qualities on the market.
All the natural features of the stone are traces of an age-old history with which we come into contact, an
evolution that has come before us and will exist after our lifetime, as a natural memory that is passed on to
the future.
The task of the art direction division is to conduct constant research on new and interesting types of
marble, and to transmit the special value of uniqueness that sets marble apart from other materials, thus
making our products into jewels of nature.
We would therefore like to urge you to appreciate natural materials like marble from this perspective, with
the aim of reducing the requests made for photographs of the slab prior to cutting.
