Marble is the Instagrammer's best friend. Challenging the notion that marble is a cold material, Saccal Design House sought to imbue it with a sense of ambiguity and a hint of poeticism. The rigidity of marble is also challenged as the stone was handcrafted as thinly as possible to enable a 3 in 1 functionality. It can be used an Oud burner, an oil diffuser, and a teal light (just place a small candle inside). Thanks to the thinness of the marble, candlelight emits a soft glow through the Carrara dome.
