For Milan Design Week, Bisazza presents two new series for its Bisazza MARMO Collection: “MARMOSAICO,” featuring 10 styles of marble mosaic tiles designed by the architect Carlo Dal Bianco, and “COLLEZIONE STUDIO KO,” featuring marble patterns signed by the French architect duo and Studio KO founders, Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty. The hand-cut marble tesserae of “MARMOSAICO” enrich the decorative mosaic portfolio of Bisazza and mirror the refined handicraft of traditional Milanese bourgeois interiors. The geometrically patterned marble of “STUDIO KO” comes in three colors: “Chiaroscuro,” “Monocromo,” and “Policromo,” and echo the centerpieces of excellence in Italian design, from Pompeii to St. Mark’s Basilica to the works of Gio Ponti and Piero Portaluppi.
On view at the Bisazza Milan Flagship Store for Milan Design Week from June 6 to June 11, the collections pay tribute to the local materials and innovative elegance of classic and modern Milanese architecture. Fournier and Marty, speaking on the collection, said, “In developing a collection with Bisazza, we were deeply inspired by Italy itself, where each region offers an extraordinary variety of marble with its many colors and styles. As architects and connoisseurs of understated elegance, we pay tribute to this treasured mineral through a reworking of modern domestic concepts that transform the traditional aesthetic customs, uses, and, often, functions of marble.”
