The two installations included Stone Garden and Stone-Edge Table, which engaged with Caesarstone’s quartz surfaces and emphasised their qualities of strength, durability and design.
The Stone-Edge Table collection consisted of seven wooden tables, embellished with corner and leg details. The organically shaped, jewel-like pieces, made from Caesarstone’s Classico collection, were designed as a decorative as well as a protective element to the most exposed parts of a table.
Typically used for countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and cabinet coverings, the application of Caesarstone surfaces as a sophisticated and refined detail in furniture gave a new purpose to the material. In a carefully engineered design, the two materials blended seamlessly together into a simple, contemporary shape showcasing the minimalistic beauty characteristic of Nendo.
Stone Garden, Nendo’s second installation, was showcased in the Palazzo’s courtyard. The juxtaposition between its minimal design and the architecture of Palazzo Crivelli enhanced the serene character of the installation. It consists of around 300 table-like elements made out of seven different stone-shaped quartz surfaces and nine different stone colours, each supported by a simple metal rod and secured by an overlapping design.
The elements are clustered together to form a seemingly floating landscape. The simplicity of the design reflected Nendo’s minimalistic approach, while showcasing the quality, functionality and creativity of Caesarstone. Like the different shapes, depths and directions of overlaps forming this installation, Caesarstone’s versatile surface designs are designed to complement any space.
The installations were visited by more than 10,000 architects, designers, press and general public.
