Alex Turco is an Italian artist and designer internationally recognized for creating collectible artworks and functional design pieces that merge contemporary art, natural materials, and refined craftsmanship. Working with resin, metallic pigments, natural stones, quartz, and semi-precious materials, each creation is handcrafted as a unique or limited-edition piece. Inspired by natural landscapes, geological formations, and the dialogue between art and architecture, Alex Turco’s collections combine sculptural aesthetics with functionality, offering timeless works designed for sophisticated residential, hospitality, and yacht interiors.

Acid on travertine, brass poured around it

The ACROPOLIS Sculptural Coffee Table shows the method in one object. Travertine is etched with acid until the surface opens up like a weathered cliff; cast brass, finished by hand, holds the stone; resin shot through with metallic pigment fills what remains. The result reads as geology before it reads as furniture, which is the intention. Alex Turco trained as an artist and describes his tables, consoles and mirrors as works first, made one at a time or in short limited editions, for houses, hotels and yachts. Nine of them are on this page.

Stone is chosen for what it does uncut. The ERNEST Coffee Table lays a slab of natural agate on a solid cast brass body and lets the banding carry the piece; the CRISTALLO Coffee Table does the same with Brazilian quartz. Searches for Alex Turco often add the word agate, and these two sculptural coffee tables are why. At dining scale, the VITTORIA Dining Table sets a Vitoria Regia marble top on cast brass bases shaped by hand, and the VITTORIA Console, handmade in Italy, carries the same pairing to a wall. The PALOMINO Marble Dining Table takes an irregular Brazilian marble top on supports finished in a champagne tone, epoxy resin and metallic pigment. The ANDREW Console works travertine, resin and hand-finished pigments over a brass frame. The tables belong to the marble dining table selection at The Oblist; the consoles stand in an entrance or against a dining-room wall.

The ANGEL SPARKS Mirror mounts an antiqued glass on a block of banded onyx, so the reflection sits inside the stone rather than in front of it. The GOLDEN ETNA Mirror sets volcanic rock in clear resin around a bronze-tinted glass; the name points to the source. Both hang in entrances, bathrooms and bedrooms as stone mirrors that work as wall sculpture first. Alex Turco's reference points are landscape and geological formation, and the mirrors are where that reading is most direct.

The Oblist presents Alex Turco to private collectors and to the trade. Because the pieces are made as single works or in limited editions, availability and finishes are confirmed at the time of order. Architects and interior designers working on residential, hotel or yacht projects can request project conditions through the Trade Program.
