In progress. Cloudy honey onyx, cut for a bath, a vanity and drawer fronts, all from the same stone. Something is coming from Ibiza.

Only one more week.
The Stone Supermarket is open until 21 June. Grab a basket and do your groceries before pre-order closes, these shelves won’t be restocked.
Il Sonno by SolidNature and OMA/AMO: twelve everyday objects, carved in stone.
Limited edition. Never produced again. Now or never.

From raw-edged onyx to precision-cut travertine. From deep black marble to shahan dark.

We source, cut, and finish to spec, until the material and the space feel inevitable together.

A selection of sinks. The full collection runs to over 600 stones.

came by the warehouse last month.
It brought us back to Egypt, to Echoes of the Infinite, installed among the pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Three monumental formations in marble, onyx, travertine, and quartzite. Forms that align with the pyramids from a distance and open into labyrinthine pathways up close.

Working with Alex on this was different. Her visual language is fluid, colour-forward, alive and here she pushed it into something heavier. Ancient matter. The blue lotus, celestial navigation, the scarab.

Symbols that have been carried by stone for thousands of years, now shaped by hand in our warehouse.

Calacatta marble, bookmatched floor to stair. Every slab selected from the same run, so the veining moves through the space without interruption, floor, treads, curve and all.

Every bookmatching option was presented as a digital dry-lay before a single cut was made. What the client chose is exactly what exists.

Beyond the surface.
A mountain holds more than stone. It holds colour you haven’t named yet. Texture that took 400 million years to form. Patterns no one has seen until the first cut is made.
We go to the source. Not to take, but to discover. Every quarry is an archive. Every slab, a revelation.

What happens to the stone that doesn’t make it into a project?
Last year, together with we puzzled. ‘Offcut Puzzle’ turns warehouse offcuts into new patterns for floors, walls and furniture. Nothing wasted. Everything reworked.

Stone remnants are scanned and rebuilt into seamless designs, ready to be shaped into many kinds of projects. Marte Mei creates the design, and we contribute our materials, expertise and production.

Elements of this work are now part of Marte Mei’s solo exhibition ‘Mending Lands’ at Antwerp, a glimpse of what this collaboration can become at scale.

Your response said everything we needed to hear.
What started as a question became a decision. We’re doing a one-time drop of our SOLIDNATURE X OMA/AMO Milan Design Week supermarket.
A curated selection of pieces, straight from our stone supermarket.
Details on when and where are coming in the next few days. Follow our socials closely.

The ramp at Rotterdam was designed by Rem Koolhaas/OMA as a threshold, a space between inside and outside, between street and museum.

Sabine Marcelis made it a place to stop.

Continuum is a series of marble volumes placed along the 25-metre corridor, separated from the exterior only by glass. The Green Manna Marble with its vivid, layered veining gives the installation a presence that shifts as you move through it.

What if everyday spaces were shaped by long-term value, purpose, and mindfulness?

Detailing Il Sonno Supermarket.
By introducing natural stone into a setting defined by consumption, the installation repositions material as a carrier of value. Durable, timeless, and deeply connected to the earth, stone challenges the logic of disposability and invites a more conscious way of engaging with the everyday.

All pieces are crafted from off cuts of later-scale projects and precious installations, reinforcing a cycle where material is continuously revalued rather than discarded.
A shift from transaction to reflection.
