Listone Giordano NUI CIVITA 1695 Parquet

Nui is the new Natural Genius collection by architect Piero Lissoni.‎ This wood flooring brings together style, aesthetics, and artisanal knowledge, while also creating connections between design and nature, between creativity and minimal spirituality.‎ A direct dialogue with nature transforms wood into a decorative element laid without artifice.‎ Nui, from the Japanese word for “to sew,” perfectly captures the spirit of this project, which reflects on the concept of connection through a minimal gesture that evokes Japanese culture and the art of Sashimono—the system of dry wood joinery that literally means “things joined.‎” The practice of building without glue or nails has ancient roots: it is believed to have originated between the 10th and 12th centuries, about a thousand years ago, when the system of joints was imported from China and further developed in Japan into a complex array of solutions.‎ It is estimated that there are more than 400 possible wooden joints, used in everything from palaces and temples to homes and furnishings.‎ This collection distinctly bears the delicate touch of Piero Lissoni, who designs a minimalist line that turns simplicity into something unique and timeless.‎ The “seam” becomes an aesthetic element that surprises at first glance with its purity and elegance—able to transcend trends and stand as a timeless decorative solution.‎ A stylistic signature that doesn’t tire but rather enchants; one that conveys peace and tranquility while capturing the essence of the craftsmanship of ancient master woodworkers.‎ Further info from manufacturer on NUI CIVITA 1695 Listone Giordano
