Description

The Catania is a 15.5cm cubic travertine sculpture built from six interlocking blocks of natural travertine stone, arranged in a cross formation. Each block is hand-cut and fitted together without adhesive or fixings, relying on precision cutting and the weight of the stone to hold the structure stable. The travertine itself is a warm taupe tone with visible mineral pitting and tonal variation across each face.

Designed as a desk ornament, shelf accent or coffee table centrepiece, the Catania suits contemporary, mid-century and neutral interiors where natural materials and geometric forms are featured. The 15.5cm cube footprint fits comfortably on bookshelves, console tables, office desks and bedside tables without dominating the surface. The 2.35kg weight gives the piece presence and stability when placed on flat surfaces.

Each Catania sculpture shows different surface textures and colour variation depending on which section of the travertine quarry the blocks were cut from. The natural pitting and fossil traces in the stone are characteristic of travertine formation and differ between individual pieces. The cross arrangement creates visual depth from multiple viewing angles, with light and shadow playing across the stepped surfaces depending on the direction of daylight or artificial light in the room.

Frequently Asked

Are the blocks glued together?

No. The six travertine blocks are precision-cut to interlock and hold together through friction and their own weight. The sculpture can be disassembled if needed, though this is not recommended for regular handling.

Does the stone vary between pieces?

Yes. Travertine is a natural sedimentary stone, so each Catania sculpture shows different mineral pitting, fossil traces and tonal variation. This is a feature of the material, not a defect.

How is travertine cleaned?

Wipe gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the stone and do not use household sprays, polishes or acidic cleaners, which can etch the surface.
