Marco Panconesi has built a name on jewelry, so it makes sense that his first home collection feels close to the body, translated into space. In Conversation Piece, Panconesi moves from rings and earrings into candelabras, clocks, and vases, but the point of view stays the same: sculptural, material-driven, and a little bit magical.
With a practice rooted in the emotional pull of adornment and the way materials can carry meaning, Panconesi’s language comes through clearly. Working with stones, metal, tin, canvas, and wood he works with objects to make them feel like they belong somewhere between design and art.
The Ascolto Candelabra stacks stones into a kind of totem, while the vases turn gemstone spikes into something that reads like a bloom, a constellation, or a little burst of movement. Nothing here feels static, even when the forms are pared back.
The clocks might be the strongest example of how Panconesi is thinking beyond function. In both the metal and canvas versions, gemstones act as markers, but also suspend time rather than simply measuring it. This is where his jewelry background matters most.
This doesn’t feel like a random side project either. He already knows how to give small objects emotional weight, so applying that principle to home feels like a natural progression. It’s considered, not forced.
And that’s probably why it works. These aren’t just decorative pieces trying to look special. This feels like the same conversation Panconesi has been having through jewelry all along, only this time the dialogue is happening in the room.
