Pura Marble Bowl

Pura is a marble bowl designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Poltrona Frau. The marble is worked with numerical control and then polished by hand. On the bottom of the bowl, a circular brass plaque in a Ruthenium finish bears the signature of the Master and the Poltrona Frau logo. This elegant bowl has been carved in a precious white Carrara marble, thus creating a sculptural element to be exhibited. The variations in thickness give prominence to the grain of the marble. Light penetrates the thinner and thicker parts of the piece to different degrees, emphasizing the transparency and opacity of the material.
