In an era where sustainability and conscious living have become paramount, the Gir Gir Collective has found a way to transform repurposed materials into utilitarian objects. At the heart of our creations lies a commitment to environmental consciousness, all while crafting pieces that not only catch the eye but also convey a powerful message. Gir Gir's designs celebrate the beauty of repurposing and, in doing so, bring a unique touch of elegance to the market.
This time, presenting the Honey collection in grey travertine sourced from Italy. The pieces showcase a textured surface that lends them an earthy, natural look. The signature honeycomb pattern creates a dichotomy between industrial aesthetics and nature's artistry. Travertine marble is a unique and beautiful natural stone that can be used in furniture design. Like any material, it comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. When used and maintained correctly, this type of marble can be a stunning and durable material for furniture.
However, it's important to be aware of its vulnerabilities, such as staining and porosity. Increasingly, it has been used in interior projects and facades due to its durability. When properly cared for, it can last for many years and withstand daily wear and tear, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. It's been used in fantastic projects like the gmp architects designs of FC krasnodar stadium, Foster + Partners Istanbul Apple Store, or the Álvaro Siza and COR Arquitectos travertine housing project in Lombardy, all of them using travertine has it's main character.
But in this case, the use of grey travertine is particularly noteworthy, as it's not a choice based on trends or personal taste. Instead, it stems from the leftovers of a recent project in a Parisian Boutique where all the walls were covered in this specific marble. Our commitment to sustainability continues to surprise us with what the market no longer needs but provides us with a surplus of what it is looking for. By repurposing materials at the end of their lifecycle, we aim to contribute to a more environmentally conscious world. We are rescuing the remaining slabs that no longer serve their original purpose in projects or facades, diverting them from an otherwise destined fate in the waste stream and giving them a new lease on life.
From side tables to mirrors and candle holders, the entire collection is presented in this material, not only showcasing the versatility of grey travertine but also reflecting our ingenuity in making the most of available resources. All products made from this sustainable material are readily available on our website. By purchasing Gir Gir's creations, you're not just acquiring a beautiful piece; you're also contributing to a sustainable cause.
The Honey collection in grey travertine is a statement that goes beyond aesthetics. These pieces embody a conscious choice to embrace sustainability and inspire change. In a world that often overlooks the importance of repurposing and environmental consciousness, our dedication to rescuing materials from the brink of waste and transforming them into objects of elegance is growing stronger.
