Breccia Luna Marble Crate

Breccia Luna Marble Crate

The Marble Crates are based on the humble wooden market crate — an anonymous object designed purely for transport and storage. For centuries, wooden crates have carried fruit and vegetables from the fields to the marketplace, forming part of an everyday infrastructure of cultivation, trade and exchange.

Reconstructed in marble, the familiar utilitarian form is given permanence and weight. The series explores the relationship between function and material, transforming an ephemeral object of circulation into one intended to endure.

Designed by Trine Guldager for Autumn Cph, the crates are handmade in Pietrasanta, Italy, in collaboration with a fifth-generation family-run marble workshop. Each piece is constructed from repurposed marble offcuts, allowing existing fragments of stone to determine the colour, veining and individual character of the object.

This crate is made from Breccia Luna marble, characterised by its grey ground, contrasting white and rose veining and raw surface.

No two crates are identical.
