optimizing the cuttings from a starting-block piece of marble, this curving outdoor bench, ‘onda’ by italian designers, paolo ulian and moreno ratti, is made from a single piece of arabescato white marble. the profile of the object allows the manufacturers to cut them in sequence directly from the same block, minimizing the scraps. avoiding any waste of material, the 1800 x 450 x 450 mm high piece of furniture is produced by upgroup and provides a luxurious, sustainable option for any outdoor environment.
