Nero Marmo
Édition d’Artiste
Archive ID: MM SCHOLAR NM 001

Scholar Nero Marmo explores depth through darkness. A black marble surface with a liquid shine, reminiscent of polished stone resting under gallery lights in Italy. The finish reflects without glossiness, absorbing light while revealing layered movement beneath the surface.

hand painted details by Marcel Katz. Each frame is treated as an individual sculptural study, carrying subtle shifts in tone and texture that echo natural stone veining. The surface is deliberate, imperfect, and unrepeatable. What appears uniform at first glance reveals complexity with time and proximity.

Handcrafted in Modena, Italy, Nero Marmo transforms the Scholar silhouette into an object of weight and permanence. The form remains intellectual and architectural, while the finish introduces emotion, density, and restraint. This is eyewear conceived as sculpture, designed to be worn, displayed, and archived.

An optional sculptural stand accompanies the work, made in house in the United States from copper and nickel soldered metal, then patina aged to achieve a raw, industrial presence. The stand allows the piece to exist beyond function, positioned as a gallery ready object.
