Decor pieces turned from unfilled stock with the voids left visible. This is the one form where the open pores are the feature and not a problem.

How this one behaves on site
Decor pieces turned from unfilled stock with the voids left visible. This is the one form where the open pores are the feature and not a problem.
Everything the trade warns about unfilled travertine stops being a warning here, because a sphere or a vase is not a surface anyone walks on or seals a floor with. The voids are left open because they are the appearance.
Two production points matter when specifying. First, wall thickness: a hollowed piece machined from one block behaves completely differently from one assembled from offcuts, and the single-block construction is what keeps it watertight. Second, the interior has to be hollowed and honed by hand, which is the reason these are quoted per piece rather than from a price list.
The lightness is genuinely useful for a project with a handling constraint — a hotel lobby installation, a courtyard feature that has to move — and it is a direct consequence of the fill decision rather than a saving in the material. State the size and the finish when asking and we will come back with what can actually be turned to it.
