Mardegan Legno PALLADIO Wooden parquet

Palladio by Edoardo Lavanna is a wooden parquet by Mardegan Legno in collaboration with SOS School of Sustainability.‎ Palladio collection is inspired by Veneto region itself, which is Mardegan’s core site.‎ This is the place where greatest Villas by Andrea Palladio can be found: Villa Foscari, Villa La Rotonda, Villa La Malcontenta, and more.‎ Starting from this inspiration and from Palladio’s description of “Palladiana”’s paving, which can be found in the Second of his Four Books on Architecture, I started designing my idea.‎ Merging a sustainable approach, increasing and decreasing the dimension of wood’s cuttings, which leads to reduce waste, I’ve been studying ways of space tessellation.‎ The basic shapes take inspiration from Penrose’s tessellation.‎ I’ve been looking for geometrical simplicity and formal richness, designing the Linea Periodica.‎ The idea of working together with SOS School of Sustainability, a post-graduate school founded in 2015 by Arch.‎ Mario Cucinella, born from the desire of Mardegan Legno, to develop new collections that have as primary focus sustainability and environmental protection.‎ The collaboration marks an important moment in the research of Mardegan Legno, which combines creativity, innovation, craftsmanship and environmental sustainability in a highly professional educational and educational context.‎ The result are 10 different collections, developed by young emerging designers who combine the most modern design trends with the careful and conscious use of raw materials, a unique opportunity to combine creativity and innovation with environmental sustainability.‎
