This week at Paris Déco Home, Bisazza unveiled the Collezione Studio KO, a series of designs in marble created by the distinguished duo, architects Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty. The collection, a remarkable combination of geometric patterns and contrasting interplays of light and shadow, is the first Studio KO partnership with the Italian brand.
“In developing a collection with Bisazza, we were deeply inspired by Italy itself, where each region offers an extraordinary variety of marble with its many colors and styles,” share Fournier and Marty. “As architects and connoisseurs of understated elegance, we pay tribute to this treasured mineral through a reworking of modern domestic concepts that transforms the traditional aesthetic customs, uses and, often, functions of marble.”

Modulo 1 arises from the sequential repetition of three rectangles whose cadence calls to mind an algorithmic structure. The design for the Modulo 2 motif grew out of an arrangement of triangles, reminiscent of the design of a textile weave. The circle, whose enveloping shape interacts with the veining of the marble, animates the pattern of Modulo 3.
In the Chiaroscuro color, the contrasting hues of the Nero Marquinia, Bardiglio Nuvolato and Arabescato Bianco marbles produce light and shadow effects. In the Monocromo colorway, a trio of white marbles gives rise to a faux solid color in which the densely veined Arabescato Bianco and Calacatta Oro playfully engage with the pure white of the Thassos marble. In the Policromo version, the ocher of the Giallo Verona marble brightens the grey in the Bardiglio Nuvolato and the black in the Nero Marquinia.

“Marble is our chosen material featured in almost all our projects,” the Studio KO founders add. “Its rich heritage and, at the same time, contemporary elegance make it a source of unlimited creativity and innovation.”
