Rare and extraordinary, purple marble transforms design and translates it into an unusual image. Through the deep streaks of Broccatello Viola, it expresses a continuously moving material texture, punctuated by light, lighter inserts that illuminate the surface. Breccia Viola, on the other hand, has a less dense texture, a mixture of wider layers, with colour fields that look like paintings, ranging from deep notes to bright shades of ivory and beige. These are the natural stones selected and sought after by Kreoo for some of its most recent collections, designed by Christophe Pillet: such as Crown and Lord, precious yet versatile furnishings; Precious, a line of vases with an archaic charm; and Fantasy, conceived as a "collectible" product, always unique.

Crown is an elegant, monolithic coffee table whose base is the result of a harmonious interweaving of marble elements that define its decorative matrix. Its structure develops from slender, tapered vertical partitions and crossbars with a soft curved profile. Together, they resemble an inverted crown, while the top is circular, slightly concave, and also in Broccatello Viola marble. The Lord collection, with its slender, textured lines, is clad in the same type of marble. It includes a console table and a coffee table whose simple design evokes the precious furniture of the 18th century. These are pieces of furniture to be placed against a wall, with a thin, semi-circular top resting on a curved band and supported by three elements, in the centre and at the sides.
The contemporary interpretation of ancient stylistic elements also extends to Precious, a family of vases in three sizes that recall a distant imagery and evoke amphorae from Mediterranean civilisations. Solid blocks of Broccatello Viola are hollowed and shaped into sinuous profiles, grooved at the top with a carved motif that adds ornamental detail.
Crown, Lord, and Precious can all be used in both indoor and outdoor spaces, as can Fantasy, the stool designed by Christophe Pillet, which in the Breccia Viola version becomes a collectible object. Its formal simplicity, enriched by unique details such as the curved seat, made by placing two parallel marble elements separated by a thin groove, is further enhanced by the veining of the stone material and its complex pattern, reminiscent of watercolor on canvas.
