The Italian Stone Theatre

The Italian Stone Theatre

CATEGORY: MACCHINE VIRTUOSE
PROJECT: GENESI

The Genesi lamp consists of 36 translucent marble rings and is equipped with an internal LED light source. The rings are produced by 6 water jet cuts on 6 trapezoidal marble chips.

THE SHAPING, THE OPENINGS AND THE FINAL FORM OF THE LAMP ARE THE RESULT OF SOPHISTICATED COMPUTER DESIGN

The reconfiguration of the elements in closed form is guided by steel cables passing through holes on the rings themselves. The volume of the product is more than 5 times the volume of the material used.

RAFFAELLO GALIOTTO

After studying Fine Arts in Venice, he founded his own design studio in 1993. He specialised in designing injection moulded plastic products, and his interest in manufacturing processes and technology later led him to experiment with new solutions and exhibition formats, especially in the field of marble and natural materials. He designed many products and collections with major companies in the industry, exploring the main features of stone, such as surface, gravity, translucency, colour, the use of digital technology and waste reduction. His projects have been published in books and magazines and exhibited in museums and international events. He is also the curator of Marmomac’s experimental pavilion in Verona. He currently teaches design at the University of Ferrara.

Curated by Raffaello Galiotto

Continuing the research launched by Marmomac into the potential of stone processing machinery, this exhibition aims to highlight the production and technical mastery of companies involved with materials, processing and technology engaged to develop a design product. For this purpose, a sector company may be paired with a design company to finalise a product.
The exhibition comprises of a series of installations developed with entirely Italian technology around a concept defined by curator Raffaello Galiotto. It consequently ensures further evolution of previous editions by uplifting the objective from simply demonstrating the potential of new machinery to highlight full-scale applications with products of a commercial nature.
