About the Item

Set Of 2 Travertino Al Verso Bedside Tables by ALMARMO Dimensions: D 40 x W 50 x H 55 cm. Materials: Travertino Al Verso marble. Sold as a pair. Honed natural matte finish. Please contact us. Featuring considered dimensions and a shelf for added storage, “The Bedside Tables” have been designed with function at top of mind: tall enough to ensure that belongings are within comfortable reach, wide enough to accommodate them without overcrowding, and just the right depth to balance proportions and beautifully anchor the bed. This pair of bedside tables is crafted from Travertino Al Verso, quarried in Tivoli, in a natural matte finish. Travertino is a natural stone appreciated for its light, earthy tones, subtle nuances in coloring and versatile applications. Travertino Al Verso is a cross cut travertine. Cut this way, the stone appears more uniform in color with a clouded, sponge-like complexion that feels soft, light and airy. OUR VISION Alma: the Italian word for “soul” meaning enduring life or a feeling or energy as revealed in a work of art. Marmo: the Italian word for “marble.” Much like a piece of art, each slab of marble is a unique work by nature with a soul, evoking an intellectual and emotional response in the eye of its beholder. Founders Benedetta Pisani and Carter Inskeep-Rosenfeld’s approach to design and creation starts with their inspired interpretations of the natural stone they have chosen to work with. Coupled with the careful consideration of the functional intention of each piece, their aim is to pay tribute to the singularity of the stone and ensure it will be cherished in its new home for generations to come. BACKGROUND In the world of design and architecture, marble is a much sought-after natural material, revered for its purity, durability, and unique aesthetic qualities. While marble can be found in many places in the world, Carrara is the epicenter of the stone and sculpture industry, home to some of the very finest stone quarries and marble craftsmen in the world. In the quarries of Carrara, blocks of marble are skillfully and respectfully collected, divided into slabs and selected by clients for their design and renovation projects all over the world. While much effort is made in precision calculating and getting the most out of each slab in the cutting process, workshops are often left with extra material. Growing up in Carrara, Benedetta Pisani has been surrounded by marble yards and workshops filled with eclectic collections of leftover slabs and pieces of stone her entire life. While logistically, she understood there remained too little to be considered for a full, new design project, she knew that what was left was simply too special to be set aside. Benedetta reached out to her friend and Paris based designer, Carter Inskeep-Rosenfeld, and the two began imagining ways of repurposing and giving new life to these precious, unused materials. The result of their creative collaboration and shared passion for natural stone is the conception of ALMARMO in 2022. THE CORE COLLECTION At the heart of ALMARMO is the brand’s core collection of small furniture and décor for the home. All of the core collection designs are crafted with natural stone found on site at ALMARMO’s artisans’ workshop in Carrara where Carter and Benedetta spend time scouring through an abundance of readily available materials in search of inspiration. This thoughtful, local approach to sourcing and production is a key value of the brand’s philosophy and a testament to the unique nature of each piece. Inspired by their selection of stone, Carter and Benedetta work together with a small team of highly-skilled artisans to create pieces that are aesthetically balanced and functional, incorporating considered shapes, lines, textures and finishes to bring the natural beauty and singularity of the stone to light. The result is a collection of one of a kind furniture and home décor pieces meant to infuse craftsmanship, character and soul into the environment of our everyday lives.
