Every piece is shaped over a lightweight sculptural core and finished by hand with multiple layers of mineral plaster, giving a dense, matte, stone-like surface. Mineral pigments, limewash tones and protective finishes are applied by hand according to the selected surface treatment. Tones sit in the ivory, bone and warm sand family and soften beautifully in natural light.
Dust with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid prolonged direct water contact unless your piece was sealed for sheltered outdoor use — if in doubt, write to us; a real person from the atelier answers.
Custom sizes, colours and finishes are available, including RAL, NCS and Pantone tone matching. Tell us the dimensions and tone you need and we will reply with options and a quote. We can also prepare a written spec sheet from your piece’s final measurements for project use.
Every piece is handcrafted to order in our atelier. Production typically takes 5–10 business days unless this page states otherwise; custom sizes and more complex forms may require additional time.
Your piece leaves the atelier as soon as it is finished. Delivery timing and full terms are set out in the section below.
Insured door-to-door delivery is included in the displayed price unless a product page or checkout explicitly states otherwise. Once dispatched, transit typically takes approximately 3–10 business days depending on destination and service; carrier or customs delays can occur. For orders delivered within the United States, applicable customs duties and import charges are covered by Mono Aurel. For deliveries to all other countries, customs duties, import taxes and related destination charges are the buyer's responsibility. Any applicable sales taxes will be displayed at checkout where required. Every shipment is tracked and insured.
Each piece is cushioned and double-boxed like artwork, and you receive tracking as soon as it leaves the atelier.
We share production photos and videos at important stages, and send a detailed final video before dispatch. Your piece is shipped only after you have reviewed and approved it. If you are not satisfied before shipment, we will remake the piece or refund you. Because pieces are made to order, standard change-of-mind returns are not accepted once a piece has been approved and dispatched. Every product is covered by a one-year warranty: in the case of a verified manufacturing defect, product fault or qualifying transit damage, we will provide a refund or a replacement, and in most cases you will not be asked to return the original piece. The warranty does not cover misuse, improper installation, accidental damage or ordinary wear.

About this piece
This sculptural floor totem is a bold architectural statement piece designed to bring depth, texture and artistic presence into contemporary interiors.
Each piece is shaped over a lightweight sculptural core and finished by hand with multiple mineral plaster layers to create its distinctive stone-like surface. The surface is intentionally textured, revealing subtle trowel marks and hand-carved geometric relief patterns that create a raw, organic and timeless aesthetic.
The vertical relief carvings create strong shadow play under natural light, giving the piece a dynamic and architectural character throughout the day.
Custom sizing is available upon request.
Mineral pigments, limewash tones and protective finishes are applied by hand according to the selected surface treatment. Each finish preserves the handcrafted texture and matte surface.
The piece is significantly lighter than solid concrete alternatives, yet visually heavy and architectural. The 180 cm version can be produced in two stackable sections for safer shipping and easier handling.
Modern Mediterranean interiors, wabi-sabi spaces, contemporary villas, boutique hotels, gallery-style living rooms, entryway statement corners and minimalist architectural homes. It pairs beautifully with neutral interiors, oak flooring, linen textiles and soft natural lighting.
For Europe the piece ships as a single unit depending on size; for other regions the XL version may ship in two sections.
Each piece is handmade, so slight surface variations are part of its artistic character. This is a freestanding floor sculpture and indoor use is recommended. If placing outdoors, please contact us for protective coating options.
At Mono Aurel we create sculptural design objects that merge architecture, texture and art. Every piece is handmade in our atelier with precision, patience and a deep appreciation for materiality.
Notes from the Atelier
Each piece is shaped over a lightweight sculptural core and finished by hand with multiple mineral plaster layers to create its distinctive stone-like surface — applied, dried and carved back until it reads like weathered stone. Mineral pigments, limewash tones and protective finishes are applied by hand according to the selected surface treatment.
Run a hand across the surface and you will find gentle tool marks, grain and subtle shifts in tone. This variation is not a defect — it is the record of the making, and the reason no two pieces are ever identical.
Concept, carving, reinforcement, plaster, hand sanding, pigmentation, inspection — every piece passes through the same slow sequence of hands before it is packed, one piece at a time. See Our Materials and Process.
Sculptural objects work best where they can breathe — a quiet corner, an entryway, the end of a hallway, a console styled sparsely.The lightweight sculptural core keeps large architectural forms manageable to position and to move. Give the piece space and side light; plaster texture comes alive in raking light. Exact dimensions are listed above, and a written spec sheet is available on request.
Dust with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid soaking, harsh cleaners and abrasives. Treated kindly, mineral plaster ages the way good architecture does — slowly, and with character. Read the Care Guidance.
Sizes, tones and finishes can be adapted on selected pieces, with colour matched to RAL, NCS or Pantone references. Send a photo of your space and approximate dimensions and we will prepare three complimentary initial design directions. Start a Custom Commission.
