Thanks to innovative experiments aimed at enhancing its material features and chromatic properties, marble takes on new functionalities, becoming the keystone for reinterpreting contemporary design codes and highlighting the artisanal dimension of today’s production.
Del Savio 1910 presents two new sophisticated pieces of furniture at EDIT Napoli. These are born from collaborations with Zanellato/Bortotto and Mae Engelgeer, which intensify the organic features of marble in a synthesis that is both original and functional.
These two unique pieces represent a new direction for the company’s history, transferring its ceaseless three-generation research onto three dimensions and large scale production, while reinterpreting its traditional expressive codes, continuing a dialogue with Zanellato/Bortotto’s art direction: the textures of marble are punctuated by lines of colored concrete that, beyond their filling function, become protagonists of the entire decorative project.
Marbling Table is a dining table that extends the Marble Marbling research initiated by the Zanellato/Bortotto studio with the expertise of Del Savio: the ancient marbling techniques of paper have inspired the designer and the company to create an entirely new material of great complexity. The round top is composed of Verde Guatemala and Bianco di Carrara marbles, which, thanks to cement resin, form an irregular and dynamic pattern that runs across the entire surface. The base is made of Verde Guatemala marble, 3 cm thick, in a cross structure. [ø 140 x h 73 cm]
The Myth Cupboard/Sideboard plays with the graphics of the Myth/EIDOLA collection designed by Mae Engelgeer: thanks to the combinations of materials, colors, and geometries, the pattern gains three-dimensionality, alluding to a trompe-l’oeil effect. The contrasting color chosen for the joints is a true decorative component and defines the design of the front, achieved by combining modules in three marble varieties: Cipollino, Grigio Carnico, and Bianco Carrara.
