The Works — Architectural Pieces
A table, a fireplace, a console carved in marble is not a sculpture pretending to be furniture — it is furniture that happens to be signed. We work directly with architects and designers to bring a single piece into a space already imagined for it.
Original pieces and private commissions. Each caption notes the material, the approximate dimensions and the time it took to carve — never the price.
Every architectural commission begins on paper, not in stone. This drawing preceded a hand-carved Carrara marble mantel, built to the exact measurements of the room it now lives in.

A hand-carved fountain, its cherub figures worked in the round to be seen from every side. Carved for a private garden, where water and stone were designed to age together.
Carrara marble · approx. 150 cm · 6 months
A devotional commission, the figure carved entirely by hand in the same studio and by the same hands behind every other piece that leaves Studio Giannoni. Work of this kind is never delegated.
Carrara marble · approx. 90 cm · 4 months

Statuario marble · approx. 60 cm · 3 months
