Objects and surfaces

Every project carries pieces that exist nowhere else. We draw them in Carrara and have them made by workshops we have known for years: weavers, marble cutters, foundries, cabinet makers and printers.

Drawn to the millimetre

Before anything is built, everything is drawn. For one private residence in Madrid the atelier produced 117 construction sheets: plans, elevations, joinery and metal details, each one checked on site with the builders.

A marble sculptor's studio, from the late 1800s

The atelier takes its name from its home: a marble sculpture studio from the end of the nineteenth century, in the historic centre of Carrara, a few steps from the quarries of the Apuan Alps.

After more than twenty years designing in Spain, Andrea Maggi brought the studio back to Tuscany. Today the team works from Carrara and Madrid and follows every project from the first plan to the last detail on site, across Spain, Greece, Morocco and the Mediterranean, for hotel groups, developers and private families.

Most sketches start somewhere quieter: an office in a farmhouse in the middle of the Lunigiana forest.
