OSSIMORO
Brand: Antoniolupi
Design: Calvi Brambilla
Production: Lavagnoli Marmi, Prussiani Engineering
Material: Oriental White
“Ossimoro” is the paradigm of tension, which here originates the shape of a sink-sculpture in white marble in which the dynamics of crystallized. Can the heaviness of the marble evoke lightness? The answer is in the past and recent references: from the drapery and the meticulous embroidery of the Veiled Christ by Giuseppe Sanmartino, to the nine sculptures by Maurizio Cattelan in All.
V263 – V211
Brand: Aston Martin – Formitalia Group
Design: Aston Martin Design Studio
Production: Testi Group
Material: Bianco Michelangelo
Showed for the first time at the Furniture Fair 2019, the new armchair “V263” is manufactured with a structure made of two white Bianco Michelangelo marble blocks, skilfully worked in order to obtain perfect curvatures. The armchair is completed with cushions of nabuk and elegant details made of brass. Placed next to the small table “V211” with a top suggested made of the same marble as the one of the armchair and legs made of steel with glossy black finishing.
RONCHAMP TABLE
Brand: Baxter
Design: Stefano Guidotti, Vincenzo Colecchia
Production: Odone Angelo
Material: Carrara Bianco Gioia, Onice Brioche
Collaboration: Tenax
This year’s project for the Marmomac Trade Fair was inspired by the organic forms of Le Corbusier’s architecture, in particular, the Ronchamp Chapel and its design elements.
The sinuous curves and concave or convex volumes of this building serve as a construction and design reference. This allows creating the table’s shape and makes it a small work of architecture itself.
The leg profile mirrors the table top’s shape, as if one were the reflection of the other. The elements composing it are joined by an innovative polychrome terrazzo material made of resin and precious onyx. The components are joined by a ‘liquid’ material as used in the ancient Japanese Kintsugi technique. This involves the art of repairing ceramics by grafting the broken parts together with gold. Art, design and architecture commingle in a single work.
COCOON
Brand: Gandiablasco
Design: Daniel Germani
Production: Grassi Pietre
Material: Pietra di Vicenza
Collaboration: Tenax
Cocoon – /ka’ku:n/ – “A silky case spun by the larvae of many insects for protection as pupae”. For the leading global event for the natural stone industry, Marmomac, Daniel Germani re-interprets the “Cocoon”, one of the newest additions to the collection introduced by Gandiablasco during Salone del Mobile 2019. This throne/cocoon like seating has been designed in
Pietra di Vicenza as a shield from the outside world, a sort of case or armor. In contrast with the soft and cozy perforated inside, the outside show us “thorns” designed to shield you from all harm.
INOUT 23
Brand: Gervasoni
Design: Paola Navone
Production: Petris – Stonethica
Material: Stonethica Carrara Mix
Attracted by the countless monochrome nuances of Carrara marble, Paola Navone imagined a table in classic yet essential shapes, which is very modern with its composite appearance and the ecosustainable materials with which it is made. In the same way, the Gervasoni “INOUT 23” chair moves.
Away from its original appearance and gets a new twist, turning into a unique sculptural object.
RIPPLES
Brand: Horm
Design: STH – Homage To Toyo Ito
Production: Map Slate
Material: Ardesia Black
The first production, produced in only 99 signed copies, was immediately sold out. The same thing happened for the second edition. Because the “Ripples” bench designed by Toyo Ito is a collector’s item. Beautiful as a sculpture, poetic and evocative, it stands out from the concept of an industrial product to enter the field of art. The original version is made with five different types of wood, which when worked on the pantograph showing the polychrome effect, evoking the movement of a wave, forming anatomical spaces for the sittings.
The stone version, created for the Brand & Stone 2.0 edition at Marmomac 2019, aims to be a homage to the designer Toyo Ito, to reproduce, with the use of natural stone, the design of the original piece, extracting its natural polychromy from the stone.
ASHLEY
Brand: Tonino Lamborghini Casa – Formitalia Group
Design: Formitalia Design Studio
Production: Silvestri Marmi
