Island Model 3
Made by Falper
Designed by Andrea Federici
Andrea Federici's Island Model 3 begins with a single, disciplined premise: solid marble, pared back to its structural minimum. Internal honeycomb inserts reduce weight without compromising the monolithic presence the material demands, allowing a surface that reads as pure stone to remain a practical centerpiece.
Available in widths of 120, 150, and 180 cm, the island is offered in catalogue marbles selected for depth of veining and tonal coherence. Forty-five degree edge cuts and continuous veining across the joints dissolve any sense of assembly, the block appearing as one uninterrupted gesture.
Configurations include hob and sink, hob only, or sink only, with the top prepared for either gas or induction cooking. Below the stone, solid walnut drawers run on Blum Legrabox systems with stabilizers and soft-close mechanisms, introducing warmth and precision at the point of daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What marbles are available for the Island Model 3?
The Island Model 3 is offered in Falper's catalogue marbles, a curated selection chosen for tonal depth and veining character. Specific options are best confirmed at the time of specification, as availability can vary by region and slab stock.
How does the honeycomb insert reduce marble weight?
The internal honeycomb structure removes material from within the marble slab while preserving the full exterior mass and visual integrity of the stone. This engineering approach allows a solid-marble island to be structurally sound and manageable without reducing its apparent density or presence.
Can the Island Model 3 be configured with both a hob and a sink?
Yes. The island is available in three configurations: hob and sink combined, hob only, or sink only. The top is prepared for either gas or induction cooking depending on the specification.
Who is Andrea Federici and what is his design approach?
Andrea Federici is an Italian designer whose work for Falper consistently explores the intersection of material honesty and reduction. His designs tend to eliminate superfluous detail, allowing the character of a material, whether stone, wood, or metal, to carry the full weight of the object.
What drawer system does the Island Model 3 use?
The solid walnut drawers run on Blum Legrabox runners with integrated stabilizers and soft-close mechanisms. Blum's Legrabox system is widely regarded among architects and kitchen designers for its load capacity, smooth extension, and long-term reliability.
