Our Story

Prela Atelier

The artistic evolution of a family stone legacy — rooted in Albania, designed for the world.

The Foundation

Born from stone,
refined by vision

Prela Atelier was founded by Jeorgen Prela and Leonard Prela — brothers, and the second generation of a family whose name has long been synonymous with stone in Albania.

The atelier grew from the foundations of Prela Mermer Sh.P.K., their family's stone enterprise, where both founders spent years working intimately with raw marble at an industrial level — extraction, processing, architectural applications.

But alongside the industrial work, a parallel question was forming: what if marble could be something more? Not a building material, but a collected object. Not a surface, but a sculpture you live with.

That question became Prela Atelier.

What We Believe

Our Philosophy

Marble is time made solid. Every vein tells a geological story millions of years old.

True luxury is natural — never artificial. We work only with authentic stone, never composites.

Design should feel permanent. Each piece is crafted to outlast the trends around it.

Individuality is the point. No two pieces are ever identical — that is the nature of stone.

How We Work

Crafted with intention

Each Prela Atelier piece passes through the hands of craftspeople with generations of stone knowledge. We produce in limited quantities — not as a marketing decision, but because quality at scale is a contradiction in stone work.

We embrace the individuality of natural stone. A vein that runs unexpectedly through a tray. A shift in tone across a bowl. These are not imperfections — they are signatures.
