Pétrifications is a project by the ÉCAL/ MAS-Luxe 2012 student Krzysztof J. Lukasik which allowed him to reconcile his interest in design with the one for literature.

It then also originates from a wish to divert this material, which is too often limited to tombstones, from its common use ; to give back its nobleness to marble – that used to be the stone temples and palaces were made of – and to usher it into our homes through the front door says Krzysztof J.
