Bedrock | Dolomyth Stool

For the Dolomyth Collection, aiming to capture the complex mountainous relief of the Dolomites, alcarol retrieved blocks of local stone from an abandoned quarry and from Karst is a distinctive landscape. Both kind of stone are partially covered with native mosses and lichens, giving it a surface that captures the geographical maps of the Dolomite’s mountains.

The collection is focused on the results of the geological processes that involved these rocks, giving them their peculiarity. The top surface of the blocks is the rough and wrinkled natural surface of the rock, unsanded and not worked by man.

alcarol has preserved this “skin” marked by time using a resin resembling the water in which these stones lay submerged through various geological eras, freezing the present instant and endowing the blocks with new functionality and new design.
