DONDOLO DUO – Marble Letter & Recipe Holder in Paonazzo Marble

Dondolo is a sculptural letter and recipe holder carved from Paonazzo marble, conceived as a functional object with a strong artistic presence.

Inspired by the gentle motion of a rocking form, Dondolo transforms a daily gesture—organizing letters, recipes, or notes—into a tactile and visual experience.
The continuous curve of the marble gives the object balance and movement, while its silhouette recalls both playfulness and classical harmony.

The piece combines Paonazzo marble, chosen for its expressive veining and emotional depth, with a solid beech wood insert, precisely shaped and hand-finished.
The contrast between stone and wood introduces warmth and material dialogue, reinforcing the object’s identity as both design and sculpture.

Each Dondolo is handcrafted in Carrara in a small series.
The natural variations of the marble ensure that every piece is unique.
