Designed by: Piero Gilardi
Manufactured by: Gufram
Massolo offers an immersive experience in the surreal intersection of art and design. Designed by Piero Gilardi, this piece embraces Gufram's 'true-fake' ethos, crafting the illusion of a heavy stone block from unexpectedly light materials. The labor intensive creation process involves meticulous hewing and layering of paint, resulting in a unique, alluring texture and shine, amplified by Gufram's Guflac® coating. The paradox is further deepened by the "PORFIDO" label on the surface, a playful nod to the material ('porfido" in Italian means "porphyry" - an igneous rock often characterized by its brown/purple hue) to that which Massolo imitates but does not contain. Massolo ic included in the permanent collection of Design Museum, Brussels. Manufactured by Gufram.
