At Franca Design, we believe that stone tells stories—stories that span centuries and carry the echoes of master artisans like Michelangelo. Our marble, sourced from the same revered quarries that Michelangelo once frequented, speaks of tradition, technique, and an enduring art form. We honour this rich legacy while infusing it with our own knowledge and creativity. Our artisans, inspired by the great masters, bring a fresh perspective to this ancient craft, transforming timeless marble into works that resonate with both the past and the present. By blending traditional craftsmanship with modern artistry, we create pieces that Michelangelo himself would have admired—works that are not only a testament to the enduring beauty of marble but also a celebration of the ongoing evolution of art.
