In Italy, and particularly in the Roman territory, Travertine has always been an identity-bearing stone, an integral part of the material culture and artisanal tradition.
Even today, during the processing of this precious material, a significant amount of waste is generated: approximately 40% of the extracted travertine is lost during cutting and finishing phases, resulting in fragments considered marginal compared to standardized blocks.

Merge was born from this awareness, collecting the remnants and transforming them into unique elements.
In each piece, the memory of the previous narrative remains impressed, renewed and evolved through the material itself.
In a dialogue of contrasts, collaboration, and sustainability, aluminum meets travertine.
It does not disturb or overpower it: it embraces its forms, supports it, and enhances its identity.
The elements strip themselves to dress one another: no longer waste, but living matter, capable of preserving and transforming the memory of its own essence.
