Sophisticated Marble Pedestals

The BLOCK Laptop Stand from de Dolomieu is Made of Solid Marble

— June 27, 2017 — Art & Design
German company, de Dolomieu, has crafted a sophisticated marble pedestal call the 'BLOCK' to be used as a MacBook stand.

Made using marble from the Apuan Alps in Italy, each slab is hand-selected and crafted in a painstaking seven hour process. Each piece is unique and created to suit the exact dimensions of the MacBook so it looks like a complimentary extension of the design. This sophisticated marble pedestal is made from Statuario marble, a marble that is in high demand but only available in limited quantities. The material is smooth and cool to the touch so the entire experience of using the BLOCK is an elegant one. No two pieces are alike as the veining and pattern of the marble will vary from piece to piece.
