Materica BELLE NUIT Metal boiserie

The surface of the boiserie resembles a body of water, majestic in its three-dimensional illusion, inviting you to immerse yourself in the nocturnal lagoon.‎ The deep, mysterious blue and the calm, vibrant lagoon green are the essence of this story.‎ Light reflects the fluid vision of the element, creating an emotional play and a reconnection with water.‎ Inspired by Jacques Offenbach’s “Belle Nuit,” this metallic boiserie captures the quiet and contemplation of the night.‎ Each wave on the metallic surface is a musical note, a suspended moment, as the gondolier glides forward.‎ The shades blend harmoniously, creating a visual effect that captures attention and stimulates the mind.‎ This metallic creation offers a new perspective on the beauty of water and the serenity of the night.‎

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.‎
