Breccia Sarda, Over time, Stone Age. Three collections that reveal, through material, the soul of Sio Design. To try to capture that soul, you have to travel through a Sardinia both real and dreamed, where Franco Sio's poetics originate, all the way to Milan and Sicily, the places where inspiration becomes style.<\/p>\n
Breccia Sarda<\/strong><\/em> Over time<\/strong><\/em> Stone Age by<\/em> Samuele Mazza<\/strong>
\nMore than a collection, a formative journey between ancient myths and modern design, following in the footsteps of extraordinary artists and sculptors, to whom the collection is dedicated. Sio Design and Pier Francesco Mele hand-transform veined, clouded, pearl and snowflake marble into unique pieces, made only to order.
\nSeating that adds the allure of sculpture to functionality.
\nVases and floorings with unmistakably Mediterranean forms, reinterpreted in a contemporary key and combined with the most elegant culture of living.<\/p>\n
\nForms and suggestions in marble and iron by Studio Mamo<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe second collection is the story of a project born from the meeting with Studio Mamo, a team of designers and interior designers from Milan, the city where Franco Sio has lived for 35 years.
\n\u201cI have learned and continue to learn a great deal from this city, whose ability to stimulate the exchange of ideas and sense of challenge I love\u201d.
\nThe setting for Over time was a fascinating artist's atelier in a period building in Milan's Brera district. The protagonists: a large table in marble and wrought iron, coffee tables, tall sculpted marble vases and samples of mosaic floor patterns. Limited-edition creations only.<\/p>\n
\nThis collection, in which Sio Design collaborates with Samuele Mazza \u2013 artist, writer, fashion designer and designer of many talents \u2013 is no longer based on marble, but on stone. No longer Sardinia, but Sicily, which has meanwhile become Franco Sio's new chosen land.
\n\u201cTo renew the work and renew myself, I chose Noto stone. A material that absorbs light: in the morning it is white and at sunset it is golden. A magic that enchants and binds you\u201d.
\nAnd here, stone is like fabric. It is found everywhere, worked in countless ways, artisanal or industrial, ancient and modern.
\nA magic made essentially of versatility.
\nFrom the grand portals of patrician palazzi to the dry-stone walls marking out country estates, in harmony with nature and with the animals.
\nSio Design creates portals, seating, tables, lamps, washbasins, fireplaces \u2013 anything you might ask of its art. Classic pieces. Modern pieces. Always unique pieces.<\/p>\n
