IL CASONE and LITHOS DESIGN present NUANCE: six new textures made in Pietra Serena, designed by Raffaello Galiotto, at the "150Y Italian Beauty” event by Roberto Semprini.

The Concept NUANCE was born from the co-operation between IL CASONE, a leading company in the sector of extraction and processing of Pietra Serena, and Lithos Design, pioneer of a refined design applied to the natural stone transformation: 6 lithic textures carried out by numerical control machines, and therefore perfectly reproducible, emphasize the aesthetic and tactile potentialities of Pietra Serena. The six 80x40 cm. format models have been designed by the designer Raffaello Galiotto, who has created a project able to exalt the light-shadow contrast, by animating the surface and by creating infinite nuances of grey. Vello, Vena, Scorcio, Tartan, Risma and Crine interpret the new trends of design matching the minimalist taste with a rediscovery of materialism, exalted by veins, undulations, light and shadow games. 
150Y Italian Beauty:  An interpretation of the anniversary of Italy’s Unity through a creative reading of the three colours of the Italian flag.Green, the colour of nature symbolizing growth, harmony, will accommodate the outdoor objects; White meant as purity, will be the place destined to body and spirit care and Red, the colour of passion, will give space to the objects charged with energy, linked to fire and movement. The companies selected to co-operate with the architect Semprini are all characterized by a refined and innovative production level. 150Y Italian Beauty will not be only an exposition of design objects, but also a little and accurate selection of Made in Italy excellences, from art to fashion, to the daily objects able to become Italy icons in the world.
