The Italian-German Fabio Lucietto and the Danish-German Emil Keller are both students at Design Academy Eindhoven. Lucietto explores the political, historical, and social influences on the current design world. He explores systems and structures and their interconnections, presenting his findings through films, objects, publications, and exhibitions. Keller, trained as a bespoke tailor, combines craftsmanship, material sensitivity, and conceptual thinking. He explores how materials shape relationships between people, systems, and industry. Using an experimental approach, he creates functional and aesthetic designs that seamlessly respond to context and environment.



Marble is a material that can resist, but also transform, renewing itself in the process. Within the Ravaneti project, design students Fabio Lucietto and Emil Keller explore marble as a material, landscape, a labor system, and symbol of transformation. At its core lies the fragile balance between humans and nature, machine and body, tradition and progress. The project follows the journey of marble from mountain to the marketplace and reflects on the disappearance of working communities, the emergence of new work rhythms, and the physical and mental strain on workers.
