Stillness- A Modern Collection of Sculptural Marble & Murano Glass pieces
About the Item
Stillness is a modern series of sculptural vessels and decor objects, handcrafted by on entropy and born from a rare moment in time. Conceived in Athens during the stillness of early 2020, the collection emerged as the world slowed down and the atelier turned inward—rediscovering forgotten forms in marble and archival Murano glass to create something deeply reflective, tactile, and new.
Bringing together Greek Dionysos marble and vintage hand-blown elements, the collection reimagines what modern decorative objects can be—balancing sculptural composition, cultural history, and summertime luminosity in each unique piece. These are not mass-produced accessories—they are one-of-a-kind collectible decor objects, designed to hold space and light with elegance.
________________________________________
What makes it unique:
Each piece in Stillness is a sculptural hybrid—a meeting of historic glassware and hand-shaped marble offcuts, some of which were originally carved for religious reliefs or architectural details. The glass elements, many from mid-century family furnaces, were rediscovered during the pandemic and thoughtfully reinterpreted into new forms.
Every object is unique in shape, tone, and story, making the collection perfect for those who seek modern decor with emotional resonance and authentic material value.
________________________________________
Why it’s worth the price:
These modern vessels go far beyond surface-level decoration. They are crafted from:
• Historic glass elements (circa 1950s), no longer in production
• Greek Dionysos marble, used since antiquity in classical temples
• Assembled and refined by hand in on entropy’s Athens studio
Each piece is a limited-edition modern heirloom, a collectible that channels rare craftsmanship, meaningful sourcing, and a sense of timeless form. Their hand-finished integrity and seamless material blending justify their status as gallery-worthy objects with deep provenance.
________________________________________
Visualizing it in your space:
The Stillness collection brings sculptural modern decor into any interior—ideal for:
• Summer homes, where the translucent blues and greens catch sunlight and throw painterly shadows
• Console tables or bookshelves, as accent pieces that invite conversation
• Contemporary interiors, to contrast or complement clean lines and natural tones
• Dining or side tables, where they can function as small vases, candleholders, or abstract centerpieces. Their varied profiles allow them to be styled alone or grouped in dynamic vignettes—each casting its own shadow and telling a quiet story of stillness and presence. The average size is d12 and height 30cm and specific dimensions can be provided.
________________________________________
Background & Identity:
Created during the COVID-19 lockdown, Stillness reflects a unique moment when movement stopped but creativity endured. The collection arose from onentropy’s archive of stone and glass, carefully catalogued over years but left dormant—until now. It honors hand-blown glass traditions, Greek marble craftsmanship, and the meditative act of making with what is already there.
Each piece is an intentional expression of cultural layering and renewal, handcrafted by our in-house marble artisans—the same team behind on entropy’s collectible furniture and lighting collections.

on entropy
on • entropy is a marble atelier established since 2009 in London & Athens by Niki and Zoe Moskofoglou. Marble, an archetypal greek material, takes on an unconventional role in on • entropy's designs; they encapsulate the contradiction of being heavy and compact and at the same time vulnerable, fragile and translucent. Its diverse character is the core of the atelier’s founding mission: to experiment with marble and its entropy;
The result is the craftsmanship of intricate and delicate creations, evolving its diachronic qualities in an imaginative & contemporary way. Created and run by sisters Niki and Zoe Moskofoglou, on • entropy is the fruit of a 40 years long family affair with marble in Greece. NM is an architect with an academic training in Design. Her work demonstrates an architectural detailing and instinct of how Space and Object can surpass mere function.
ZM is a civil engineer with expertise in Sustainable Heritage. From the cultural landscape of the quarry to refined marble, she wants to offer a Future to the Past human and natural environment. NZM founded their design studio to reflect both art and craft. Pushing the boundaries of marble,
their work begins with the human experience and an interaction with the senses; it demands contemplation. Today on • entropy creations are presented at established european galleries including Rossana Orlandi and Mint, while collaborations on commercial projects (Le Bon Marche, Four Seasons) carry on.
