The Pompeii-x Méridienne balances sculptural presence with formal restraint—its bold volumes and radical lines evoke ancient Pompeii through a futuristic lens. The wood and metal of ancient Pompeii’s furniture have vanished—replaced by travertine and marble, evoking a contemporary vision of ancient Rome, one we know primarily through architecture.

Crafted in Italy by Les Marbreries de la Seine—a French heritage stone atelier with three generations of artisanal excellence—the piece features three natural stones: the alabaster-like light-blond Travertino Alabastrino, the deep green Verde Alpi marble, and the pink-hued Breccia Pernice marble. Exceptional craftsmanship here brings to life a narrative shaped by touch and feeling. The stones, chosen in a deliberately faded palette, are given honed or sandblasted finishes, as if patinated by time itself. In its indoor version, the méridienne includes a celadon silk-velvet cushion that softens the stone with a luminous and tactile delicacy.

Delatour’s work explores a fictional Pompeii that survived beyond the Vesuvius eruption—blending brutalist aesthetic, modernist heritage, and speculative imagination into meaningful design.
