MAR-MOR SRL↗, an artisanal company with over thirty years of experience in marble and stone processing, presents RIFORMA, a design project born from the desire to reimagine marble waste as a creative opportunity and a circular resource.
Developed in collaboration with EX.↗ - a design workshop bridging art, landscape and technology through architecture - RIFORMA introduces a new approach to production: a dry, modular construction system, optimized through parametric and digital tools, capable of generating a collection of furniture made entirely from marble production waste.
Each object tells a dual story: that of the material – noble, yet labeled as “waste” – and that of an
industry that can reinvent itself by reducing waste and rediscovering value in what remains. The project embraces the principles of the circular economy, addressing the need for more responsible production and more conscious design.
The first pieces of the collection – a series of modular tables – will be previewed at the Italian Pavilion of EXPO 2025 in Osaka, as a tangible example of design that blends aesthetics, technology, and sustainability.
