Lundhs Real Stone

Norway’s leading exporter of natural stone,

Lundhs was founded in 1962 by Thor Lundh.

Still family-owned, the Larvik-based firm

prides itself on its innovative methods

of extracting natural stone, including local

larvikite, anorthosite and granite.

Inspired by the works of Aldo Rossi and

Giorgio de Chirico, Davide G Aquini’s

gym equipment in curved stone and dark

steel features a featherweight kettlebell,

lightweight and middleweight dumbbells,

and a heavyweight barbell. Their art deco-

influenced design is elevated by the colours

of Lundhs’ elegantly polished stones,

while their heft and sculptural form mean

they can also be used as paperweights,

doorstops, vases and bookends.

Davide G Aquini

A graphic designer hailing from Venice,

Aquini worked for advertising agencies

before launching his studio in Padua in

2007. Inspired by his study of ancient art
      history, his designs often feature traditional
      Italian materials such as marble and glass.
