Palace, a collection composed of a washbasin and a freestanding bathtub, draws on a millennia-old culture. The collection brings together the refined design of Christophe Pillet, who defined its forms, and the artisanal expertise of Kreoo, which perpetuates a secret knowledge and extraordinary dedication in shaping stone. It offers a tribute to the great tradition of Italian sculpture: from Ancient Rome to the Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical periods, and to the masters who shaped the highest artistic expressions by hand-carving entire blocks of marble.
With Palace, the three-dimensional texture takes centre stage. Handcrafted with a chisel and finely engraved, it develops the experimentation the designer had already explored with the Mercy and Dawn collections, bringing it into a balanced synthesis.
The vegetal motif is stylized and sophisticated with unfolding leaves. As it evolves, it generates a sequence of vertically carved, subtly dynamic lines that accompany the surface of the product, making it unique. They resemble fans and interlock delicately with one another, framed by smooth upper and lower borders that complete the design concept of the freestanding washbasin, with its cylindrical section, and the bathtub, an elegant, flared oval basin.
Designed for large-scale projects and available in Bianco del Re, Palace becomes a work of art within its setting, an object that captivates through its artisanal craftsmanship, its tactile softness and the refinement of its embossed texture.
