BENCH
Tivoli
DESIGN by
Pietro Franceschini
From an archetypal column to a fractured form
The Tivoli Bench originates from an archetypal architectural element: the column. Pietro Franceschini approaches this form not as a symbol but as a raw structural mass to be transformed. The original volume is interrupted at its center and divided into two parts that remain visually and conceptually connected. This fracture becomes the generative act of the project, allowing the column to shift from a vertical architectural presence into a horizontal object for living spaces. Produced by Serafini, the Tivoli Bench embodies a refined interpretation of marble design where form emerges through subtraction and reconfiguration. The solidity of the original mass is preserved, yet rebalanced through openness and rhythm. Luxury is expressed through essential geometry, material clarity and a controlled sculptural language that speaks quietly but with authority.
FRACTURE
A sculptural bench designed for living spaces
As a functional object, the Tivoli Bench balances monumentality and usability. Its proportions are carefully calibrated to maintain a strong sculptural presence while remaining approachable within contemporary interiors. The continuous surface emphasizes material continuity, while the central separation reduces visual weight and introduces spatial tension. Designed by Pietro Franceschini for Serafini, the bench can function as seating or as an architectural element within living environments. Marble is treated as structure rather than decoration, reinforcing the timeless quality of the piece. The Tivoli Bench interacts naturally with space and light, becoming a grounding presence that defines the surrounding interior.
Custom marble craftsmanship by Serafini
Crafted by Serafini with a focus on artisanal precision, the Tivoli Bench is conceived as a fully custom marble product. Dimensions, finishes and proportions can be adapted to specific project needs, making each piece unique. Yellow travertine highlights the natural depth of the stone, while alternative marbles allow the design to shift in character while maintaining its identity. This approach reflects Serafini’s vision of luxury marble design rooted in customization and material expertise. Designed by Pietro Franceschini, the Tivoli Bench represents a refined dialogue between concept, craftsmanship and contemporary living.

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.
