Acquiring a new form in its third edition at Milan Design Week 2014, the ‘Marble Across Time’ exhibition, organized by Turkish Stones, shifts from the static expression conveyed through brief time snapshots, crystallized into a marmoreal vision, and to a metaphorical representation; take some time for yourself for a journey that starts back in the past and projects itself into the future. Initiated by the Istanbul Mineral Exporters’ Association, and curated by Erdem Seker of RDM’s Design and Architettura, the presentation takes a chronological approach to the existence of marble from history to the present day and into the future.

The design of the space begins with consideration by Azai Sariyer, followed by Fabio Novembre’s reflection on the present and concludes with Tokujin Yoshioka’s revelation of the future, for which the Japanese designer has conceived the ‘Agravic Stone Table’, a monolithic furniture piece that seems to free itself from gravity, existing in its own presence as if it were floating in the air. Cadenced by on-going discoveries, the ‘table of the universe’ envelops amid a pathway of mirrors, reflecting on both the history of the world and humanity.

The immersive installation sees the Past-Present and Future interact in a dialogue through marble, conveying a tangible expression of the fluidity and elusiveness of time.

This project will be presented for the space of Future at " Marble Across Time " exhibition supported by Turkish government.
