Trentino Collaborations

Stipple Screen
The Stipple screen allows a viewer to sculpt its stone surface and manipulate the light and pattern visible from either of its sides. Large stone paddles are stacked on wires and enabled to rotate according to the pattern or effect the user wishes to anoint.

Marquetry
In celebration of the traditional large-grained crystallic material Porphyry, GMS have developed a marquetry system that marries the classic aesthetic of the material with a contrasting contemporary pattern. Designed in triangular sections to accommodate the manufacturing process, the colours and composition can be varied to tailor the final mural to the character or requirements of the user.

Giles Miller
London-based designer Giles Miller specialises in the development of truly innovative surface, material and sculptural artworks. The studio is interested in light, reflection, texture and the manipulation of these elements to create subtle and functional artworks. Harnessing materials and texture the studio composes thousands of sculptural components in such a way that they illustrate imagery purely through their composition and reflection of the surrounding light.
