Oeuffice presents collection of solid marble stools at Neoclassical Milanese hotel

Milan 2016: London design studio Oeuffice has updated its collection of stools based on Greek column capitals with white marble versions, and displayed them in a black courtyard in Milan.
The Kapital collection comprises a series of limited-edition tables and stools, each abstracted from the forms and assemblages often found in classical architecture.
For each of the nine pieces, the studio took cues from on the capitals – or heads – of columns found in the three orders of ancient Greek architecture: Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.
British architect David Chipperfield similarly focused on these three styles when designing a range of cabinets for his first gallery collaboration with
David Gill.
"Traditionally, the capital – from the Latin caput, or head – forms the topmost member of a column," said the studio . "It mediates between the column and the load thrusting down upon it, broadening the area of the column's supporting surface.
