Description
The Patchwork wall finish, designed by Piero Lissoni, is Salvatori’s latest collection in pursuit of zero-waste. Sustainably crafted and artfully designed, Patchwork reflects the brand's commitment to working with creatives and innovators to find new ways to recycle while maintaining their signature Made in Italy craftsmanship.
Each square of stone used to assemble the finish is sourced from the manufacturing offcuts of other Salvatori collections, including their iconic Bamboo and Spaghetti collections, and repurposed to create a patchwork of various textures and sizes. The result is a geometric assemblage that creates an interplay of different patterns and dynamic three-dimensionality. Patchwork creates an intriguing textural mosaic that catches the eye and the light. It is a homage not only to sustainability but also to the harmony between humankind and nature. With a wide array of options for customization, including variations in color and texture, Patchwork allows designers and end consumers to compose an arrangement catered to their specific tastes.
“At the very heart of Patchwork is the idea of finding the best possible way to use every scrap of the resources Nature provides us with” says Piero Lissoni. “This approach means minimizing waste and I focused not only on the formal use of natural stone, but also on the physical aspect by assembling pieces in a different way so that every bit becomes usable.”
As pioneers in the industry, Salvatori was the first to recycle water as part of their manufacturing and stone carving processes in 1975, long before it became an industry standard. In 2010, they were the first to repurpose stone offcuts into a composite block, showcasing their forward-thinking approach to design and material usage. With a deep respect for the scarcity and beauty of natural stone, Patchwork follows in the footsteps of Salvatori’s previous collections, including Lithoverde®, Romboo, and Lost Stones, aimed at repurposing manufacturing offcuts and materials to create something beautiful and new.
