OPERA APERTA TORTORA is an oak parquet designed by Piet Boon for Listone Giordano in 2026.
Natural Genius Opera Aperta, the result of the synergy between Studio Piet Boon and Listone Giordano, transforms the majesty of Renaissance architecture into a tactile and contemporary experience. The project draws its lifeblood from a journey through masterpieces of Italian art, where the detail of a historic facade proved to be the key to reinterpreting the horizontal surface. The design focuses on the study of proportions and the search for a sign that can be strongly present without ever dominating the environment. Opera Aperta plays on two-dimensionality, translating the rhythmic scanning of classical buildings into a floor that challenges staticity and invites visual movement. The aesthetic is defined by extreme formal cleanliness, capable of adding a distinctive character to interiors through an interplay of joints and directions. The innovation of Opera Aperta lies in its ability to transform wood into a pure architectural element, where the raw material dialogues with light and space. The result is a cultured and timeless surface, a tribute to history that looks to the future of interior design with discretion and charisma.
"The Renaissance is not an era closed in history books, but a language of eternal proportions. Opera Aperta stems from a quest for excellence where passion for natural materials meets the precision of architectural detail, elevating the floor to a true protagonist of the home. The elegance of historic Italian facades sheds the weight of stone to become a wooden rhythm." Piet Boon
