The FRAGMENTS MILANO collection is inspired by the northern Italian landscape. Estudio Material collaborated with Sacco Natural Stone in the Chiavenna Valley to repurpose leftover stone fragments. These unique pieces, rich in history, tell a story of origin and place. Various local stone types are used throughout the series, forming a quiet mosaic of textures and colors that reference their scattered, as-found condition. A fog-like, pure aluminum plane reveals the stone below and ties the floating fragments together, acting as a neutral unifying element. Each piece seamlessly combines simplicity with an authentic expression of materials, creating a conceptual bridge between nature and our living spaces.
FRAGMENTS is an ongoing series that transforms stone yard remnants into sculptural objects. EM collaborates with quarries and fabricators to salvage and design each piece around hand-picked materials, preserving the stone’s found condition and raw beauty. The stone fragments are complemented by pristine metal surfaces, creating a soft contrast and continuing the studio’s dialogue between nature and the human-made.
