CATEGORY: THE POWER OF STONE
PROJECT: SPONGIA
The pointed and modelled shapes of the work were achieved with two types of milling: with a disc and a shaping tool.
THE “UNDERCUT” CHANNELS WERE MACHINED INITIALLY WITH A ROUGHING TOOL AND THEN USING SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED SHAPING TOOL
The design of the work through software also involves and manages toolpaths, controlling the direction and orientation of each processing path.
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
This exhibition seeks to combine the age-old tradition of stone processing with the contemporary language of design. Design is interpreted as the “overall project” that involves and manages the production process, devices, tools and software used to manufacture high-tech works with a strong formal impact. Processes taken to extreme limits, complex surfaces, high-precision details, reduction of waste and the enhancement of the characteristics of the material are the common denominator in each work.
The exhibition comprises a sequence of installations developed using Italian technology and also aims to involve company personnel to help define new artisans with the technological skills needed to use digital instruments in order to process marble. The Italian Stone Theatre exhibition involves a series of installations by designer Raphael Galiotto accompanied by specific videos for an even better understanding of the works on display, how they were made, the machinery used and the specific characteristics and features of the materials.
