Materica
LAGUNARE
Metal boiserie
A three-dimensional metal surface with a graphic and sinuous character, inspired by the seductive sensuality of the waters of the Venice Lagoon. Lagunare combines the marine element with the modernity of contemporary lines. The mirrored surface of the boiserie reflects and amplifies the light dancing in the room, creating an effect of perpetual movement that evokes the enchantment of waves in eternal motion. Every corner, every curve, captures the fluid essence of water flowing through the canals of Venice. The tactile sensation is an irresistible invitation to contemplation, while the fluid forms gently accompany us to explore the depths of design. A fluid and sensual soul that evokes the mysteries and suggestions of the city on water. Every detail is a tribute to the magic and unique atmosphere of Venice, the essence of one of the most fascinating cities in the world, and in this surface it becomes the tangible work of its rare beauty.
Precious surfaces akin to art pieces that envelop spaces, conjuring up ever-varied worlds. This is Superfici Venice Collection, Materica’s first and groundbreaking collection of boiserie, unveiled at Milan Design Week 2024 and with the creative direction by Tiziano Guardini and Luigi Ciuffreda. Superfici Venice Collection is further enriched by designers with strong individual styles and diverse artistic visions who have crafted five signature collections, each a unique interpretation born from the alchemical expertise of Materica. Contributors include Matteo Cibic, Serena Confalonieri, DRAW Studio, Antonio Pio Saracino, STORAGEMILANO and GuardiniCiuffreda Studio. Each boiserie originates from a creative crossover of different processes and techniques. Metallization, achieved by high-speed melting and micronization of pure metals—from brass to bronze, copper to nickel-silver, aluminum to zinc—merges with oxidation, laser etching, resin coating, and natural pigmentation. Layers of materials and multiple processes reveal unexpected aesthetic effects.
