The collection comprises a series of elegant bistro table whose circular stone tops have been naturally shattered into a constellation of stone shards. Featuring versions in Rosso Francia, Verde Alpi, Nero St.Laurent and Giallo Siena, each broken piece is sealed up along its surface with a luminous gold seam.
Lissoni pulled the technique from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, a method of repairing broken ceramic that considers the destruction of an object as merely another phase in its life circle
The creation of the elegant and understated bistro tables gives these impeccable stones a well – deserved second life, respecting their heritage while preserving their extraordinary profile. The Lost Stones collection speaks firmly of Salvatori’s values as a company. History, sustainability, material reuse and sophisticated contemporary design all converge in Lissoni’s creations.
