Carpenters Workshop Gallery exhibits gueridons, tables, lamps, consoles, fountains and mirrors, with each piece of ‘Architectures’ carved from two types of carefully selected marble blocks. Arabescato fantastico is a rare white stone with dark grey veins; black Nero Marquina features brush stroke-like, white veins. The marble is precisely cut, sculpted, faceted and polished in Italy. The result, black-and-white forms exemplify Lagerfeld’s classic monochromatic style.

The meticulous work with marble — studied and developed in collaboration with architect Aline Asmard’Amman — sees lighting works that diffuse a specific daylight. The shades of the table lamps are distinctively hand-painted using the most traditional, decorative arts techniques. Ever-shifting between the antique and the contemporary, the collection pushes the boundaries of craftsmanship and history.
