The piece is carved from a single block of Lasa marble, selected for its density, uniformity and aesthetic quality. The manufacturing process combines advanced technology with skilled manual craftsmanship.
Mechanical machining carried out using state-of-the-art CNC machines precisely defines the piece’s geometry and volumes, ensuring it remains faithful to the designer’s 3D model. This modern technology is then perfected by the skilled hands of our craftsmen, who refine the surfaces and curves, lending the piece its unique character.
Our expertise, the result of a long family tradition in marble working, has enabled us to proudly transform Theodorico Napolitano’s artistic vision into a living work of art. Thanks to our master craftsmanship, we have succeeded in shaping a monumental statue of extraordinary beauty, enhancing the intrinsic strength and unique expressive value of the marble. It is precisely from the union of our technical excellence and the creativity of the artists that works are born capable of astonishing and making eternal what the imagination conceives.

The 2026 edition of Milan Design Week at Palazzo Litta was an intense and vibrant event, filled with encounters, new perspectives, and an extraordinary turnout.
Within this context, Milgem presented a small-scale edition of Marble Does Not Melt: a new interpretation of the work, capable of preserving its expressive strength even on a different scale.
The remarkable attendance throughout the week confirmed how the dialogue between art, design, and material continues to inspire interest and engagement.
For us, it was a valuable opportunity to share our vision of marble: not simply as a material, but as a contemporary language.
