PROJECT: LISCA
The conventional diamond cutting disc is re-interpreted with curved cutting paths distributed over an undulating surface.
THE DISC MAKES TWO CUTS OVER EACH PATH WITH OPPOSITE SLANTS TO PRODUCE V-SHAPED GROOVES
The intersection create a grooved network allowing light to pass through it with a strong three-dimensional character.
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.

Curator & designer Raffaello Galiotto
Marble is an ancient and stable material that has been used to write human history; Man, over and above the geological history of our planet inherent in the material itself and in various epochs, has always been overwritten the peculiarities of stone to record culture, style and technique.
Today, new computerised engineering systems used to process stone materials offer incredible possibilities. The use of these tools – that can well be considered as a kind of “digital chisel” – opens up a new scenario wherein Man, always in the forefront, has the responsibility for far-reaching re-thinking to achieve symbolic value, durable use and the less waste.
The Digital Lithic Design exhibition seeks to highlight – through the creation of a collection of thirteen experimental works in marble – the potential of the technological excellence and capacity for transformation of the Italian stone industry together with conventional and digital design. Machinery builders, software houses, producers of tools, marble workers and raw material quarries have taken up the challenge to stretch their skills to the limit to show visitors attending the Marmomac international trade fair in Verona the new opportunities that technology has to offer the industry.
