Sustainability, functionality, and playful minimalism sit at BURGIO.’s core. Stoneware pieces are moulded and hand-finished; the distinctive elastic "memory" of the raw material requires careful handling to attain its intended shape. Marble designs, including Carrara, Arabescato, and Nero Marquina, are shaped using CNC machines and then left with human hands to guarantee a seamless appearance, as each design originates from a single marble block. Keep an eye out for the reversible coffee table, available in five different marble stones and the whimsical FUUUUSILLO side table, inspired by the duo's favourite pasta shape.
