Robin Grasby reveals Altrock furniture collection made from reclaimed marble



Robin Grasby has unveiled a collection of tables made from Altrock, a material created by the industrial designer from marble offcuts suspended in resin.
The inaugural furniture collection made from the material was exhibited as part of this year's London Design Fair and consists of three core elements ? a coffee table, a console and dining table.

The material, a kind of terrazzo made up of 87 per cent recycled stone from luxury marble workshops, was unveiled at the end of last year.
The collection was designed specifically to showcase the possibilities of Altrock's fabrication method, which can produce a kaleidoscope of colours through the use of different resins and stones.

Through a method called mitring, the slabs can also be assembled into a range of geometric shapes.
"We create angled cuts in the slabs, which can then be rejoined giving the appearance of both a solid mass and a folded, s...
