Abstract architectural forms carved from Carrara marble
Kfir Galatia Azulay reinterprets architecture through marble objects.
1Journey to the essence of architecture
Kfir Galatia Azulay's 'Eternal Structures' series explores architecture independently of buildings through form, proportion, and material. Carved from single blocks of Carrara marble, the objects materialize architectural thinking through spatial qualities. Unlike traditional sculptures, they examine mass-void relationships.
2The story of material
Carrara marble, historically associated with architecture and sculpture, is used here at domestic scale. With natural veining making each piece unique, the marble carries an interior character rather than monumental. The material's weight emphasizes physical presence against temporary object design.
3Fragments of abstract cities
The objects evoke fragments of imaginary cities or archetypal architectural forms. Offering open-ended compositions without fixed narratives, they add architectural presence through scale, geometry, and material without dominating the space.
4Architecture in collectible design
The series positions itself at the intersection of architecture, contemporary art, and collectible design. Designed for offices, galleries, and private collections, the objects reveal architectural character through proportion and balance rather than ornamentation, each being an independent composition.
5An evolving vocabulary of forms
The ES1 collection represents the beginning of a developing abstract forms dictionary. The objects reflect architectural culture beyond buildings. Galatia Azulay's exploration of architecture as cultural language materializes in these marble compositions.
6New expression of architectural thought
The project expands architecture's traditional application fields. The marble objects serve as physical manifestations of architectural theory. The designer's interdisciplinary approach prompts reconsideration of architectural forms' relationship with collective memory.
