STACK By Materica
STACK, a name that evokes the idea of accumulation and layering, signed by eclectic designer Antonio Pio Saracino. This boiserie, of Picasso-like memory, transforms the surrounding space into a stage of vibrant, three-dimensional sculptural forms. On the STACK surface, a set of sculptural shapes overlap and merge, creating a dynamic and enveloping visual effect. Each piece manifests itself through sinuous lines, bold curves and intricate volumes. STACK's bold, sculptural aesthetic reflects the soul of its creator, Antonio Pio Saracino, known for his innovative and visionary approach to design. With this boiserie, Saracino invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world of beauty and creativity, where every shape and every detail tells a unique and fascinating story. With STACK, every room becomes an evolving work of art, a place where imagination can run free and beauty can be celebrated in all its forms and manifestations.
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.
