Slide

It slips away, flowing quickly, changing slope and inclination several times, like a light ribbon that, instead of hovering in the air, overturns the sense of gravity and lightens the monolithic nature of the stone. The edge of Slide, the round basin carved from a single block of marble or natural stone, is the hallmark of the design. An unusual feature that outlines the perimeter of the basin, accompanying a pure volume and giving it dynamic energy, a finishing touch that conveys a feeling of lightness despite its imposing presence. Slide once again confirms antoniolupi's attention and research into stone processing techniques that open up new perspectives and enhance the multiple expressive potential inherent in the material.

Energy is released from the block as in a sculpture in the round and transmitted to the space and those who experience it every day. The edge follows the rounded line of the tub but at the same time generates a clear and decisive tension that redefines a new balance. It almost seems as if the natural movement of the water generated by the person immersing themselves in the bath has shaped the edge, modeling the section to carve out the stone.
