drappi di pietra by lithos design

‘drappi di pietra collection’ by lithos design, chiffon

vibrant expressions of design, lights and shadows, multiform and aerodynamic dimensions: with the drappi di pietra collection, stone claddings take on unprecedented styling accuracy and technical proportions with a delicacy of lines, three-dimensional effects and a novel lightness. an innovative design approach for five models, each featuring a carefully coined name taken from the world of fabrics due to their consistency with the characteristics of lightness and sinuosity of fabrics. the perfect folds created by the sophisticated processing and the painstaking study of the reflective properties of stone give these modular claddings an original aura of gauzy lightness. drappi di pietra is an avant-garde design project because it makes it possible to create shapes similar to the natural undulations of fabrics from a block of marble, while minimising processing waste.

the machine reads and translates the drapery, each cut producing the negative of a piece and the positive of the next: the result is a surprising cladding, a sequence of folds, waves and ripples with a great styling lightness and fluidity. a special, in-depth study was dedicated to the application system too, to make it as simple as possible despite the ingenious composition of these cladding models; in addition, this method also enhances their already excellent thermal insulation properties. the excellence of the drappi di pietra project is the new climax of a production story that enhances the expressive abilities of stone materials re-interpreted by lithos design, which reformulates their styling and formal appeal with a touch of the contemporary, with unrivalled sensitivity and skill.
