In FICT STUDIO’s Fragment series, marble fragments are immersed in resin and polished into solid, sculptural forms.
The process preserves irregular offcuts — the broken pieces left behind during stone cutting — and transforms them into refined design objects. The stone’s rough edges and natural textures become visible in new ways. The clarity of the material allows the marble to appear suspended, creating a dialogue between heaviness and lightness, opacity and translucency. What might have been waste is instead recast as an object of both uniqueness and sophistication.
Designer and founder Heakyoung Jang uses the series to question how value is assigned to materials. Marble has long symbolized permanence and tradition, yet its discarded fragments often go unnoticed. By freezing them in resin and giving them a polished finish, Jang highlights their irregular beauty and elevates their status from leftover to centerpiece.
The Fragment series is at once practical and poetic. It offers surfaces and forms that feel contemporary while retaining the raw character of stone. In doing so, it suggests a new way to see materials — not as flawless or uniform, but as imperfect, and deeply compelling.
