DESIGN
This Persephone Magazine Rack features a rustic and organic design, with an appearance that seems to have been sculpted directly from a rock. Its irregular shapes and rough surfaces give it a natural and authentic look, which contrasts with most traditional magazine holders. This style can be defined as "naturalist art," as it focuses on highlighting the intrinsic characteristics of the material without altering it too much. The central cavity provides ample space for organizing magazines or books, while its robust and textured design makes it a striking decorative piece that adds a touch of nature and sophistication to any space.
QUALITY
The quality of this magazine holder is exceptional, crafted from genuine travertine marble, which gives it strength and durability. Despite its rugged and natural appearance, the piece has been carefully worked to avoid sharp edges and ensure it is safe to handle. The interior is spacious and deep enough to keep magazines in place without sliding or falling, while the base is stable, preventing the holder from tipping over. The quality of the finishes demonstrates excellent attention to detail, maintaining a balance between natural aesthetics and functionality.
MATERIALS
The magazine holder is made from authentic travertine marble, a material known for its natural beauty and durability. The porous and textured surface of travertine gives it an organic look, while its weight provides stability and solidity. Although travertine marble has a rougher texture than other types of marble, it is easy to clean; a simple wipe with a damp cloth is enough to keep it free of dust and dirt. The finishes have been treated to protect the material from stains and moisture, ensuring it retains its original appearance over time.
Travertine marble is a natural stone of sedimentary origin, primarily composed of calcium carbonate deposits that precipitate from water, typically in environments such as hot springs, caves, or rivers. This rock, known for its porous texture and unique appearance, comes in a range of colors from white and cream to shades of brown, gold, and reddish hues, depending on the mineral impurities present during its formation. Its name derives from the term "lapis tiburtinus," referring to the city of Tibur, now known as Tivoli, near Rome, where the Romans have extracted this stone since ancient times.
Travertine is appreciated for its versatility and unique characteristics, such as its porous texture and resistance to extreme weather conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. This stone is lighter and easier to work with than other types of marble, allowing its use in a wide range of architectural applications, from decorative elements to monumental structures. Travertine marble is particularly famous for its use in the Roman Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, and many other iconic constructions of Roman and Renaissance architecture.
The extraction process begins with geological surveys to determine the quality and extent of the deposits, followed by the removal of the surface material and the extraction of blocks using controlled drilling and explosives. The extracted travertine is then transported to processing facilities where it is cut into slabs and subjected to various finishes, such as polished, honed, or aged, which enhance its natural beauty and versatility.
