At stoneCIRCLE, we are delighted to introduce our latest collaboration with the iconic Montcalm Mayfair hotel, where timeless craftsmanship harmonises with cutting-edge design. As part of the hotel’s revitalisation led by the visionary teams at Studio Mica and Studio Est, we are crafting a statement console table that will grace the reception area—a space that sets the tone for the entire guest experience.

Rain Forest Green marble console table, almost ready to go!

 

The console table is a testament to our mastery of natural stone. It features a sleek, solid top in the exquisite Rain Forest Green marble, supported by three sculptural triangular plinths. This unique stone, sourced for its striking veining and warm green tones, brings an organic vibrancy to the modern, luxurious interior.

 
 

The piece fuses the precision of CNC technology with the indispensable artistry of hand-finishing, guaranteeing a flawless result. Each surface of the marble is meticulously polished to enhance its natural beauty, whilst the clean geometric shape celebrates contemporary design. This harmonious blend of nature and craftsmanship exemplifies our commitment to assisting designers in bringing their boldest visions to life.

Marco Joe Fazio is CCO and director of photography at space+style™ by marco joe fazio Ltd, working in fashion, hospitality, food & drink, architecture and design.

Born and raised in Tuscany, Italy, Marco learned the rudiments of photography and the magic of the darkroom in his early school years. Thereafter, he worked in architecture, interior, and lighting design for two decades. During those years, Marco founded an award-winning architectural studio and managed a multidisciplinary design team, working mainly for fashion industry clients.

Since moving to London in 2008, Marco has been recognised as a Chartered Architect of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) while pursuing his dream of connecting the worlds of architecture, design, and fashion from the photographer's perspective.

After years of passionate dedication, hard work and professional achievements, he was awarded the Fellowship certification (FBIPP) by the British Institute of Professional Photography and won the Peter Grugeon Award for the Best Fellowship of the Year in 2016. Subsequently, he has been admitted as a member of the highly regarded Association of Photographers (AOP). 

Having achieved a stronghold in coordinated image and photography for the design and fashion world, Marco has taken his expertise into the hospitality market; luxury and boutique hotels, fine dining restaurants, and the drinks and beverage industry are all reaping benefits from his services.

Today, Marco is leading his agency in assignments in the hospitality, fashion, and design industries.

Creative photography, cinematography, coordinated images and brand marketing form the core of his services.

Thanks to more than a decade in the music industry, Marco has expendable knowledge in composition and sound engineering. That knowledge is a valuable asset in creating licensed soundtracks and magnetic sound designs for commercial productions.

Marco's passion and another branch of his business are mentoring and nurturing new visual arts talents. In 2016, he launched "telling [fashion] stories" – photography & set design workshops – and more recently, he has become a lecturer for the School of Art and Creative Industries at London South Bank University (LSBU).

The crossover between genres and industries is a peculiar and essential factor in his work, contributing to thinking outside the box and achieving a unique style rich in symbolism and content.
