Sculpted by Mark Leblanc, an accomplished designer and craftsmen renowned for his Organic Modern pieces audaciously carved from all-natural materials, this extraordinary piece is ideal for collectors and designers alike. Inspired by the thrones of the kings of Tikal, the Mayan super power of antiquity, this alluring piece boasts exquisite white swirls and veins left behind by magnesium deposits within the ancient marble during it's formation millions of years ago.

Also known as "Guatemala Verde", Guatemalan Green Marble is a serpentine green marble and from its unique deep green color composition sprout bright white veins that transport us to the landscape of mangroves and tropical jungles. This natural stone pays tribute to the paradisiacal Guatemala, a land with a rich native culture, bathed by both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The serpentine, one of the minerals that compose it, has long been considered magical by some of the indigenous Mayan tribes granting it healing powers and an element of wisdom. For these reasons Guatemala Green Marble has captured the attention of illustrious architects and interior designers.

Able to function as a single seat or as a display piece, the HEAVY solid Green Marble slab is balanced by a single leg made of solid, ebonized Ash perfectly offsetting the mesmerizing green and white tones of the marble. This sculpture is the very definition of "one of a kind" so when it's gone, it's gone forever. Make it yours today and elevate your home's aesthetic to new heights.
