Io Marble Platter By On.entropy In Green, Modern Desk Accessory

Io is a platter designed as a single, homogeneous volume, carved seamlessly from one block of marble. Without joints or seams, it emphasizes the stone’s plasticity and invites the senses to engage with marble not as a rigid, untouchable material, but as something fluid, elegant, and tactile.________________________________________What makes it unique:Io carries a fine matte finish that reveals the individuality of marble’s color and veining, making each piece one of a kind. A subtle shift in finish along the underside of its curved form creates natural “handles” for lifting, drawing the user into a direct, tactile dialogue with the stone.________________________________________Visualizing it in your space:Minimal in form yet rich in material presence, Io adapts easily to different roles in daily life. On a desk, it becomes a sculptural accessory, grounding the workspace with a sense of permanence. On a table, it functions as a contemporary serving plate, ideal for presenting dry fine foods with quiet sophistication. Whether in white, dark green, or golden brown marble, Io adds depth and warmth to its surroundings, shifting naturally between practical use and decorative presence.________________________________________Background & Identity:Io is born out of a desire to metamorphose marble into something unexpected. It reflects the studio’s philosophy of engaging the senses—interrupting automated ways of perceiving stone and transforming it into a medium of interaction. Each platter is the result of an in-depth dialogue between designers and marble sculptors, where mastery of the craft allows for both precision and subtlety in finish. This is the continuation of an ancient tradition, reimagined through contemporary design.________________________________________Why it’s worth the price:Io is more than a serving accessory; it is a sculptural piece that carries with it centuries of Greek stone artistry. Its seamless carving, refined finish, and thoughtful ergonomics highlight the extraordinary skill of the artisans who shape it. The individuality of each marble block ensures that no two platters are alike, making Io both a functional object and a collectible design piece. By bringing Io into everyday rituals, one brings marble into intimate contact—an enduring material translated into a modern, sensory experience.________________________________________Technical Details:•Made from Greek white, brown or green marble• Available in 20cm x 30cm and 30cm x 40cm•Made in Athens, Greece
