Lapitec has chosen three projects fruit of the collaboration with the academy of ‘Belle Arti’ in Verona and the faculty of Architecture in Ferrara: Taboo, Onda and Quinto Elemento. These projects have been realized by the university students who have been able to know in deepened way, during the academic year, the Lapitec, the total sintered stone. They are three creative interpretations of the potentialities of this material, applied to the world of design, of furnishing and of urban design. “The work developed with the university - Gino Sartor commented, marketing manager Lapitec – it has been very stimulating because it has allowed the students to know an innovative material and to prove themselves with the processes of creation of a prototype. Today, in fact, it is more and more essential for an architect or a designer to have clear which are the potentialities of the material and the peculiarities. On our behalf, it has been a moment of strong creative enrichment that surely becomes part of the business professional baggage.“
Taboo is a concept - developed by the students of the academy of ‘Belle Arti’in Verona - which stimulates the reflection on the modern life styles. The students of Verona have thought about table objects, with hexagonal profile, proper for becoming phone holsters and cup holsters. The extreme workability of Lapitec has allowed therefore to realize very refined carvings which valorize the function of the object making emerging its material beauty. For Onda, instead, the students of Ferrara have looked at East, precisely in Japan, looking for a creative synthesis among the artistic Japanese tradition and the ancient wisdom of the processing of the Marble of Carrara. From this approach it was born a table that revolutionizes the concept of plan, because it breaks the linearity of the surface, creating rolling waves. Quinto Elemento, finally, it is an external application of Lapitec, always conceived by the future architects who study in Ferrara. It deals with a structure able to host pots, but it can act as divider and as furnishing element for an outdoor space. The plates in sintered stone are modular and they are set in a comb structure.
