After years in which marble and natural stone were primarily associated with kitchen and bathroom surfaces, more and more brands are exploring the material as part of the furniture and décor world. Joining this trend is now Gatenio Marble, launching a new brand called Marbella.
The brand will focus on furniture and accessories made of natural marble and porcelain, including consoles, coffee and side tables, tea trolleys, podiums, trays, and vases. In addition to permanent collections, customized solutions will also be offered.
This move represents an expansion of the company's activity, which has been operating for years in the import, processing, and installation of marble surfaces. While the material was once primarily seen as a functional element, today it is gaining recognition as a piece with independent design presence.
According to the company’s CEO, Arik Gatenio, the idea was born from exposure to international trends where marble is integrated into furniture and accessories, not just as a countertop. “Marble can become an item that defines a space,” he says.
The brand targets architects, interior designers, and private clients, as well as projects in the hospitality and commercial sectors. According to the company, the goal is to enable the creation of a cohesive design language - from architectural surfaces to complementary furniture pieces.
