Among the vibrant creative notes animating Milan Design Week 2024, the alchemical harmony of the Superfici Venice Collection by Materica resonates. An exhibition that, from April 15 to 21, 2024, will unveil the Venetian company’s first boiserie collection, weaving art, craftsmanship, and technology into a unique work of art that also includes one of our historic Venetian fabrics.<\/p>\n
Materica<\/a>, a Venetian company renowned for its luxury metallic surfaces, has entrusted Guardini Ciuffreda Studio with the creative direction for the launch of the Superfici Venice Collection.<\/p>\n This collection marks Materica’s design debut with its own line. An evolution of identity rooted in a deep connection with the territory, craftsmanship and a commitment to transform surfaces into emotions. A modular boiserie system, designed to dress any type of interior, is configured as a masterpiece of visual impact and sensory vibrations.<\/p>\n The result of the creative direction of Tiziano Guardini and Luigi Ciuffreda, the collection is enriched by the talent of internationally renowned designers, including Matteo Cibic, Serena Confalonieri, Antonio Pio Saracino, Draw Studio, STORAGEMILANO, and Guardini Ciuffreda Studio<\/a> itself.<\/p>\n Each boiserie originates from a creative fusion of different processes and techniques. Metallization, achieved through high-speed melting and micronization of pure metals\u2014from brass to bronze, copper to nickel-silver, aluminum to zinc\u2014is combined with oxidation, laser etching, resin coating, and natural pigmentation. Layers of materials and multiple processes reveal unexpected aesthetic effects where metal adapts to the surfaces, yielding to their geometries.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Boiserie-Levantina-Materica-Guardini-Velluto-Senatori-Gardenia.jpg” alt=”Visita Patriarca Roncalli | Tessitura Bevilacqua” title_text=”Boiserie Levantina Materica Guardini Velluto Senatori Gardenia” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”didascalia” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Levantina Boiserie – Senatori Velvet in Gardenia Color<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Venice, with its lagoon and its blurred landscapes, becomes a source of inspiration for the collection. Among the many evocative proposals developed by the Materica Research Laboratory under the creative direction of Tiziano Guardini and Luigi Ciuffreda, the Levantina boiserie stands out.<\/p>\n In Levantina, a precious Venetian fabric from our Tessitura, Senatori velvet<\/a>, is metallized and composed as a three-dimensional mosaic, creating a dynamic architectural volume within the architecture itself.<\/p>\n The name of the fabric derives from the custom of Venetian Senators in the 16th and 17th centuries to wear a toga whose design represents two heraldic symbols: the crown, indicating noble rank, and the rose, standing for honor and virtue. The ornamental motif of our Senators velvet has remained faithful to those togas, and is characterized by two stems bending to support a crown and then a corolla enclosing a stylized six-petaled rose.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Velluto-Senatori-gardenia-662-3970D.jpg” title_text=”Velluto Senatori gardenia 662-3970D” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”550px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”didascalia” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”550px” module_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Senatori Velvet in Gardenia Color<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The most precious types of this velvet, called “soprarizzo” and \u201caltobasso\u201d or \u201cpile-on-pile,\u201d are still woven by hand on our 18th-century looms.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/velluto-senatori-doppio-taglio-a-mano.jpg” title_text=”velluto senatori doppio taglio a mano” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”550px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”didascalia” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”550px” module_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Making of Senatori “pile-on-pile” Velvet<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n These velvets have two different pile heights, obtained by using special metal rods, with different thicknesses, during processing. One creates the background of the fabric, while with the other creates the pattern. In soprarizzo velvet in particular, rods with a round cross-section create a pile with a rich curly effect, thus combining cut velvet and curly velvet. These special techniques allow the pile to reflect light in different ways, giving the velvet unique characteristics of three-dimensionality and depth.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Velluto-Soprarizzo-Senatori-029-3972.jpg” alt=”Velluto Soprarizzo Senatori 029-3972″ title_text=”Velluto Soprarizzo Senatori 029-3972″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”450px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”didascalia” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”450px” module_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Soprarizzo Senatori Velvet<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Velvet, used for centuries in the boiseries of aristocratic palaces, is transformed in the Levantina collection, from a soft fabric to a new and different material through metallization, creating precious surfaces, lively and organic, capable of enveloping spaces and shaping ever new worlds.<\/p>\n These architectural works of art embody the elegance and luxury that define the Venetian spirit. Focusing on the fusion of art, craftsmanship and technology, this collection is an excellent demonstration of creativity and innovation in the world of contemporary design.<\/p>\n The Venetian company Materica, with forty years of experience in the world of design, architecture and luxury, specializes in luxury metal surfaces. An artistic soul and an aesthetic eye come together to create works that take shape through chemistry. It is rooted in deep ties to the land, craftsmanship and a commitment to transforming surfaces into emotions. Its commitment to excellence is reflected not only in the quality of its products, but also in its dedication to sustainability and innovation.<\/p>\n This mission mirrors that of Guardini Ciuffreda Studio, which focuses on innovation, environmental impact and the creation of value for society. Led by the talented designers Tiziano Guardini and Luigi Ciuffreda, the Studio brings its unique and innovative vision to the Superfici Venice Collection by Materica.<\/p>\n The context in which the collections will be presented has been curated by Mosca&Partners. For the location, they chose an industrial space on the Darsena, in the heart of modern Milan. This choice is no coincidence: the space offers a unique atmosphere that perfectly matches the aesthetics and theme of the collection. The installation, entrusted to Park Associati, and Nathalie Du Pasquier’s site-specific project entitled “Corridor” create an evocative environment for the presentation of the Superfici Venice Collection.

Un'esposizione che, dal 15 al 21 aprile 2024, svela la prima collezione di boiserie dell'azienda veneta, intrecciando arte, artigianato e tecnologia in un'opera d'arte unica, che include anche un nostro storico tessuto veneziano.<\/p> Materica<\/a>, azienda veneta rinomata per le sue superfici metallizzate di lusso, affida la direzione creativa a Guardini Ciuffreda Studio, per lanciare la collezione Superfici Venice Collection.<\/p> Con questa collezione, Materica debutta nella progettazione con una propria linea. Un'evoluzione di identit\u00e0 che affonda le radici nel profondo legame con il territorio, nell'artigianalit\u00e0 e nell'impegno a trasformare le superfici in emozioni. Un sistema modulare di boiserie, progettato per vestire ogni tipologia di interno, si configura come un capolavoro di impatto visivo e vibrazioni sensoriali.<\/p> Frutto della direzione creativa di Tiziano Guardini e Luigi Ciuffreda, la collezione si arricchisce del talento di designer di fama internazionale, tra cui Matteo Cibic, Serena Confalonieri, Antonio Pio Saracino, Draw Studio, STORAGEMILANO e lo stesso Guardini Ciuffreda Studio<\/a>.<\/p> Ogni boiserie nasce da un'alchemica fusione di lavorazioni e tecniche differenti. La metallizzazione, realizzata attraverso la fusione e micronizzazione ad alta velocit\u00e0 di metalli puri, dall'ottone al bronzo, dal rame all\u2019alpacca, dall'alluminio allo zinco, si unisce a interventi di ossidazione, laseratura, resinatura e pigmentazioni naturali. Sovrapposizioni di materiali e lavorazioni multiple svelano effetti estetici inaspettati, dove il metallo si adatta alle superfici assecondandone le geometrie.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Boiserie-Levantina-Materica-Guardini-Velluto-Senatori-Gardenia.jpg\" alt=\"Visita Patriarca Roncalli | Tessitura Bevilacqua\" title_text=\"Boiserie Levantina Materica Guardini Velluto Senatori Gardenia\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" _builder_version=\"4.23.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" max_width=\"600px\" module_alignment=\"center\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=\"off|off|off\" admin_label=\"didascalia\" _builder_version=\"4.23.4\" text_font=\"||on||\" text_font_size=\"12\" background_color=\"rgba(218,221,221,0.52)\" text_orientation=\"center\" max_width=\"600px\" module_alignment=\"center\" hover_enabled=\"0\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]<\/p> Boiserie Levantina - Velluto Senatori Gardenia<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.23.4\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> Venezia, con la sua laguna e i suoi paesaggi sfumati, diventa fonte di ispirazione per la collezione.
