Urano

The Vega bench is the most restrained piece in Giulio Zizzari's Urano collection. Its logic is reduction: two massive marble blocks bookend a single narrow textile cushion, and nothing else.

Each end block is cut from Verde Alpi marble, teal-green with pronounced white veining. The stone is carved with a slight inward curve at the support point, a detail that softens the visual weight and creates a cradle-like tension between the monumental stone and the narrow charcoal chenille running between them. The bench reads as a study in opposites: hard stone and soft textile, generous width and narrow seat, geological permanence and everyday function.

Named for Vega, the brightest star in the constellation Lyra and one of the vertices of the Summer Triangle. The name suggests quiet radiance: an object that holds the room without asking for attention.

Within the Urano collection, Vega introduces the only horizontal line among pieces that are otherwise compact and vertical.
