Fashion Designer Rebecca Minkoff Launces Collaboration with Borrowed Earth
That partnership resulted in Anthozoa, three types of bespoke panels—rendered in Taj White marble, Grey Fantasy marble, and travertine—that challenge the limits of how people conceive of architectural stone into pieces that are more of an art form. “Experiencing the wonders of nature and working with stone first hand has been eye opening,” says Minkoff. “Unexpected veins and fossils show up in the middle of a block. It is unbelievable that the earth reveals millions of years of history in every piece that is extracted.” Based on the patterns that form in colonies of anthozoa coral colonies, the large-scale works “represent the perfect blend of timeless beauty with just the right amount of edginess,” says Tyler.
