“Don’t take it lightly. The stool does not is a simple supporting actor, an anonymous “plus
one “, but in the house it is a piece that has character and knows how to do it be worth. It is no coincidence that the creativity of the most important designers and if the fruit of their work is still successfully proposed by most prestigious brands“.
This is the introduction of the Il Sole 24 Ore issue, titled “Da gregario a protagonista: tutte le facce dello sgabello” – From “assistant” to protagonist: all faces of the stool.
We are speaking about Leone, the stool created in cooperation with Michela Nardin of MNM Venezia for Casarialto Atelier project.
It combines the love for workmanship of glass and that for design, the Mosaics collection signed by the artist Michela Nardin for Casarialto. This stools, with a strong character decorative, have a ceramic core created by hand by an expert Venetian ceramist, later covered by mosaic tiles handcrafted by Orsoni, the last furnace still active in the historic center from Venice. These are precious objects that have the quality of the work of art, just think that to make the Barena stool it takes
4,700 mosaic tiles cut a hand and 63 hours of workmanship.
