Based entirely on white Carrara marble, Marsotto edizioni launched at the Marmomacc fair in October 2009 with its first collection of multifunctional pieces, and made its public debut at Milan Design Week in 2010.

The focus is on smaller items to diversify the collection with all designers pushing the use of marble to unexpected, sculptural conclusions whilst staying true to the philosophy of objects for practical and daily use.
