Samantha Oriegien Swaby & Roman Gonitel - An Unusual Combination
When an artist (Samantha Oriegien Swaby) and a scientist (Roman Gonitel) collaborate interesting things occur...
Slow Stone is an art furniture start-up born in London and made in Italy, revolving around the
complexities of stone.
In 2018, the scientist Roman Gonitel proposed an idea to the artist and designer Samantha Oriegien
Swaby. He was curious as to how the design process could be flipped, instead of just designing a
piece to incorporate a particular marble or stone, one could take time to see what the natural
patterns occurring in the stone could dictate and evoke from the artist/designer.
Samantha was intrigued by Roman’s proposal and so the journey began and as a result Slow Stone
was born.
Tables, lamps and furniture arise from the interpretation of a methodically chosen slab of marble
where the design is dictated from the reading of its veins and inclusions.
