Marble and natural stone have poetically captured the evolution of Earth since the dawn of existence. For thousands of years, civilisations have borrowed these magical measures of time to narrate their own history, through sculpture, monoliths, sanctuaries, and more. Rocked captures how contemporary designers are revolutionising the use of marble and natural stone through innovative technology, history, and craftsmanship. By looking back, these designers have leaped ahead, and this book is a testament to their work.
