Beyond Stone – Homage To Both The Grandeur Of Nature And Human Genius
Antolini® x Murran Billi represents a striking collaboration between two names synonymous with design innovation and natural stone artistry. The result is a celebration of raw elegance—where nature’s textures meet the refined edge of modern design.
During Milan Design Week 2025, Antolini® presents an evocative collaboration with Florence-based artist Murran Billi at its MilanoDuomo Stoneroom. Known for his Renaissance-inspired approach, Billi transforms slabs of rare natural stone into sculptural portraits that merge historical reverence with contemporary artistry.
Onice Verde Persiano light – Clarice De Medici
Four iconic Medici women—Lucrezia Tornabuoni, Clarice Orsini, Lucrezia de’ Medici, and Clarice de’ Medici—emerge from the translucent depths of Onice Bianco “Extra,” Onice Verde Persiano “Light,” and Cristallo Rosa “Wow.” These refined works reinterpret the stone’s natural patterns as portraits of strength, intellect, and cultural influence, paying tribute to the enduring power of femininity in art and history.
Presented by Magran Living
“Every gesture, every word – explains Murran Billi –, emanated a refinement that, united with their vision of the world, was able to embrace and promote art, culture and innovation. The Medici women knew how to safeguard the meaning of family, to the point of elevating it to a benchmark in the history of art and politics.”

Billi’s work marks a poetic evolution of Antolini®’s materials—where craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation coalesce into timeless design. United by a shared Italian legacy, this collaboration redefines stone as a living medium of narrative and emotion.
