EXCINERE VERDIGRIS AT COPPERMAKER SQUARE

1. CASE STUDIES → ExCINERE

For Tabitha Organ, the storytelling power wielded by design objects and materials is clear. The founder of interior studio Tabitha Isobel instinctively grasped the affinity between ExCinere tiles – born of the chemical reactions of kiln-firing minerals within the ash of Mount Etna – and the alchemy of the coppersmiths once found on the east London site of Coppermaker Square, home today to a new residential complex with annexed coworking and café featuring extensive use of ExCinere Terra and Verdigris.

MARMOREAL AND GRT ARCHITECTS

1. CASE STUDIES → MARMOREAL

GRT Architects' conversion and renovation of the St.Thomas Rectory, Harlem, NY, into a resplendent home and working artist’s studio is arguably the practice’s most accomplished work to date. The project was many years in the making and was headed up by Tal Shori, a co-founder of GRT. Tal drew on the talents and expertise of a fantastic roster of artists, makers and designers including our friends at Michael Anastassiades and Granby Workshop. We are pleased that Marmoreal made the cut and features throughout the property and can be found in bathrooms, kitchens, landings, and a fireplace hearth.

AT HOME WITH FORMAFANTASMA

1. CASE STUDIES → ExCINERE

Through 'La Casa Dentro', Formafantasma’s exhibition unveiled in 2024, the designers touched on themes of domesticity, ornamentation vs. function, and the meaning of objects and homes as part of our collective memories and personal identities. The duo's 1930s Milan apartment revealed the use of ExCinere in a number of cohesively-linked flourishes, all of which were designed by Andrea and Simone.
