Paris, France
Continuing the creative approach of JCPCDR Architecture, the collection of Lone vases is the result of an encounter between the know-how of the White Carrara marble worker and the vision of the architect, made from offcuts of stone blocks used for construction and layout.
Each exceptional piece plays with scale ratios, inviting antique monumentality into a decorative object of precious proportions. The timeless geometry of the column is revisited here, inspired by the natural degradation of the ruins.
This romantic scenario is interpreted by the architect and draws several contemporary silhouettes, whose lines weave an elegant paradox between the density of the structural element, and the lightness provided by the circulation of light.
LO/NE Vases by JCPCDR Architecture, won a 2026 Green Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design, and Urban Studies.
The finesse of execution, obtained after a long process of research and prototypes, allows to bring an unprecedented transparency to each stone, underlining the unexpected delicacy of this solemn form.
Each vase in the Lone collection is made in the French workshops of Blanc Carrare, depending on the stones available.
The specially selected lava stone evokes a ruin engulfed by a volcanic eruption. The design of each piece is chosen from 6 variations, depending on the characteristics and properties of the material, in order to bring it to the maximum of its expression.
Even more than a design object, a Lone vase is thus the poetic witness to a human story, and to the crossroads between two skills whose dialogue and technical performance are at the service of lasting beauty.
