Marmomacc Meets Design – Path Design Fair

The sixth consecutive edition of the recently concludedMarmomacc Meets Designthis year has put companies and designers facing the issue of sustainability, that was substantiated with a return to the naturalness of the material.

 

All projects submitted transmit a new way of working first and then use the material, that it is now clear to all be a scarce resource and non-renewable. The theme "The colours of green: sustainable stone"Is an excuse to convey messages broader and deeper, harmonization with nature and ethical sense. Sustainability is a design factor which must be essential in our society and must be understood as a new sense of responsibility with which part of the world.

 

Each designer invited to Marmomacc has developed a metaphor to express this strong need of modernity and respect for nature: Lorenzo DamianiconCalvasina in collaboration with PRinteriorDesign of Pusterla&Ronchetti s.n.c (who made all the products designed by designer Lorenzo Damiani) was able to confer to a marble lightness and flexibility unexpected, sustainability is not calculated at the end of the production cycle, but upstream of the design phase.

PerLucy SalamancaThe challenge was to deconstruct and re-read the porphyryOdorizzi Porfidi, reinterpreting it and associating it with water, earth and fire.
