DOLOMYTH Stool
A cross-section of Earth’s crust: stone holds time, moss holds life. Fleeting traces become still, the present sealed in silence, resting gently in the memory of matter.

Natural Stone, Extraclear Polished RESIN, Felt on the bottom
In the shadow of the Dolomites, alcarol retrieved ancient stone blocks from an abandoned quarry — fragments of territory shaped over millennia by slow sedimentation. Mosses and lichens still cling to their surfaces, etching the textures of time like natural cartographies.
Their vertical sections reveal layers of geological history — delicate shades of antique pink and grey pressed together by the weight of deep time. Above, the top remains untouched: rough, wrinkled, and raw — the unworked skin of the Earth.
Encased at the base in transparent resin, this stone now rests within a still pool — a final layer that recalls the ancient waters once flowing around it, now paused. The Dolomyth Stool is a cross-section of the Earth’s crust, a miniature submerged landscape where the last stratum is not rock, but silence.
A place where the past surfaces, and sediment becomes structure.
