The End of the Affair Vulcano Pièce Maîtresse Limited Ed.

Designed by Michael Anastassiades for the Salvatori brand since 1946, The end of the affair is a centerpiece made entirely in basalt.

The end of the affair is a centerpiece by the refined and original design. A basaltic structure, a lava stone of Italian origin, recreates three of the most famous Italian volcanoes. This beautiful centerpiece is created and made to fully appreciate the beauty of the Love Me, Love Me Not table marble of the same designer, but they become perfect for any table or living area. “I chose volcanoes because  of the way they reflect Suiseki which is all about aspects such as longevity, stability and immortality. That’s precisely what stone and volcanoes exemplify to me” explains the designer. “There’s also that underlying hint of dormant danger and power and of course volcanoes have long been seen as venerable objects of worship over the centuries. I’m intrigued by that sense of menace and then, working with Salvatori who are of course an Italian company, it seemed natural to choose local volcanoes as the inspiration for the forms”.

Limited Ed. to 13 pieces for each volcano.
