CONSOLE
Temple
DESIGN by
Hervé Langlais
A contemporary echo of Venetian architecture
Temple console reinterprets the architectural language of Venetian Renaissance façades into a refined object for contemporary living. Designed by Hervé Langlais for Serafini, the piece draws inspiration from the arcades that define the rhythm of historic palaces, translating their ornamental presence into a minimal and controlled form. The central arch becomes the defining gesture, framing space with clarity and proportion while maintaining a strong visual identity. Temple console is conceived as an abstraction of a classical element, reduced to its essential lines without losing its cultural reference. Produced by Serafini, the console embodies a vision of marble design where heritage is not replicated but transformed into a timeless and sophisticated expression for modern interiors.
ARCH
Minimalism and structural balance
The design is defined by a careful balance between solidity and openness. The arch introduces a sense of lightness within a compact structure, allowing the piece to interact naturally with its surroundings. Designed by Hervé Langlais for Serafini, Temple console explores the relationship between mass and void, where the subtraction of material becomes as important as the volume itself. The proportions are studied to achieve a calm and stable presence, while the smooth transitions soften the architectural rigor of the form. This approach creates a console that is both sculptural and functional, capable of integrating seamlessly into contemporary living spaces while maintaining a strong and recognizable identity rooted in classical design principles.
Custom design and timeless expression by Serafini
Crafted by Serafini, Temple console is conceived as a fully custom luxury piece adaptable in proportions, finishes and detailing. Each object is developed with precision to preserve the clarity of its geometry and the strength of its architectural concept. Designed by Hervé Langlais, the console reflects a design philosophy where simplicity becomes a vehicle for expression. Through customization, Temple console can adapt to different interior contexts while maintaining its iconic character. The result is a contemporary marble design object that balances tradition and innovation, offering a refined interpretation of classical architecture through craftsmanship, proportion and timeless elegance.

The uniqueness of marble creation
Serafini s.r.l. informs consumers, clients, and third parties in general that:
All of its products have the required characteristics that ensure normal operation and safety in use.
They are made from natural stone blocks: they feature exclusive, unique, and unrepeatable characteristics, such as color veins in different shades, and may differ from reference images, scale models, and sample materials provided. All references are always indicative to facilitate customer understanding.
The block, due to its natural characteristics, may potentially present cracks or fractures where there is greater fragility, as these are unpredictable. Any imperfections present, attributable to the naturalness of the stones, may be glued or resin-treated, but they do not constitute a defect.
Adequate packaging is used to ensure the safety of the product during shipment. Wooden crates secure the products in the appropriate and efficient position. The customer must open and inspect the material within eight (8) days of receipt, in compliance with the legal term. In case of breakage, the customer must report it within this period to be entitled to the warranty. Assemble according to the suggested instructions.
