A series of new pieces from Santa Fe–based Stone Forest blurs the line between art and function. The company’s
Siena Collection (
www.stoneforest.com), available since June through select dealers, comprises seven pieces crafted from Siena marble and priced from $1,600 to $22,000. The line’s bathtub, vanity, and bench are clearly purpose-built, yet, owing to their Japanese-influenced contemporary aesthetic, they are equally suited for show. The chaise ($7,000) also exhibits this duality: The 700-pound piece, cut from a single marble slab, is visually pleasing and shaped to cradle the human body.
