Soft Horizons

Soft Horizons is an installation by Objects of Common Interest and Greek Marble, presented within a dismissed glasshouse at Alcova 2025. There, fragments of Greek marble, recovered and reworked, hover with improbable lightness, rotating in response to human proximity. Suspended above, a disc diffuses a custom sound piece, reconnecting the installation to its landscapes of origin. Stemming from a water basin the marble offcuts suggest a geological cycle of dissolution, crystallization, and rebirth, presenting the material as something dynamic—capable of renewal.

Studio Vedèt was invited to translate this sensibility into a visual identity and website for the project. We began by reworking a classical serif typeface—fragmenting it, softening it, and reassembling it into an almost mineral lettering. The resulting logo recalls the installation’s formal language: raw, elegant, tactile.

For the website, we designed an interface in which visitors can activate or conceal content with an ‘on/off’ logic, toggling sound, information on the project, and the network of partners involved. Bright yellow intervals punctuate the site’s visual flow, serving as a visual “palate cleanse” between different marble textures.
For the installation onsite, we designed a foldable poster collecting the narratives behind each of the marble companies that made the project possible.
