ARGENTA PRESENTS ETERNA: THE NEW MARBLE COLLECTION THAT COMBINES TECHNIQUE, MATERIAL, AND BALANCE
In the image, the volumes of a house appear carved from a single block of stone. Flavia’ s surface clads the façade with a travertine reinterpretation in ceramic form, where the vertical veining becomes a constructive rhythm. The precision of the joints and the continuity of the pattern allow the building to be read as an orderly sequence of coherent and sober planes. The sand tone and linear texture add a sense of naturalness. When light falls on the façade, it creates a play of delicate shadows that modulate the surface and give depth to the composition.
The Japanese architect Tadao Ando wrote that light changes matter, and matter changes light. This relationship defines much of his work and also encapsulates the idea behind contemporary architecture: materials do not merely occupy space— they transform it. Precision, texture, and detail determine how light is perceived, how space is organized, and how it is inhabited.
It is with this vision that Eterna was born, a new ceramic collection developed by Argenta as a demonstration of its technical and material expertise. The project brings together different marbles from around the world, reinterpreted through contemporary ceramics, each crafted to reproduce the essence of the natural material and adapt to various finishes— polished, matte, honed, or bush-hammered.
More than a series, Eterna is a collection of collections that explores the relationship between material, proportion, and light. Its goal is to expand the constructive possibilities of marble through the technical precision and graphic control that define Argenta.
