The Portuguese company Olivah, located in Sintra, was created in 2021 by architect Gisella Tortoriello. This company stands out for the fact that it uses waste from marble and stone quarries to produce all kinds of unique design pieces. This idea came about because, as an architect, Gisella always found it frustrating that valuable marble was thrown away simply because it didn't meet the builders' uniform standards.
The founder of Olivah went to marble and stone quarries (mainly in the Alentejo region) to find suitable fragments in the waste. Subsequently, the company's designers, using 3D models, pay great attention to detail (using a 3D model) to give this material the shapes commissioned by the client, such as architects in Paris or designers in Los Angeles, for example. These products are thus unique, personalized and exclusive.
Olivah plans to launch an online store soon, where customers can order bathtubs, tables and kitchen worktops made from waste, as well as vases, decorations or - a new product - tablecloths, which combine a cork base with a marble surface.
In the future, the Portuguese start-up will also offer its products to the end consumer via the Internet.
