SAURO MELCHIORRI

Sauro Melchiorri

Born Senigallia, italy, 1967

AN ITALIAN artist, MELCHIORRI ingeniously uses PURE MATERIALS to uncover CLEAN AND TIMELESS DESIGNs. He is dedicated to exploring the undiscovered possibilities of material and form to create one-of-a-kind works of audacity, integrity, and intelligence. With a unmatched facility with raw materials, Melchiorri CREATES UNIQUE works that reflect a Sui generis aesthetic vocabulary, a deep understanding of the history of art and design, and an unapologetically contemporary vision

Working between London and Milan, MELCHIORRI is actively involved in every stage of the artistic process, from conception to drafting to manufacture. Intentionally resisting industrialized means of production, MELCHIORRI works closely with artisans whose mastery of heritage craftsmanship is unparalleled. Together, they draw upon a deep knowledge of design, materials, and production techniques to create his timeless works

LERICI Collection

Infused with the atmosphere of its namesake town on the Italian Riviera, Lerici is a sculptural collection that channels the geological poetry and cultural exuberance of the Ligurian coast. Known for its role in literary and artistic history—from Shelley to Montale—Lerici carries a cultural memory that resonates through the collection’s quiet gravitas. Melchiorri channels this aura into a collection of enduring presence that become act of preservation, a work of memory, and a practice of form that holds within it both the past and the promise of permanence

Each of the twelve works—ranging from armchair and bench to table, console, and sculptural sofa—is hewn from a single monolith of Breccia Pernice, a rare Italian marble whose warm ochres, reds, and soft greys echo the sedimentary complexity of coastal cliffs under Mediterranean light. Through its rich veining and fractured textures, the stone itself becomes a visual map of time—an archive of tectonic and marine forces made tactile

The forms are assertive yet fluid. The contours of each work are guided by the movement of the sea—its undulations, erosions, and quiet force, suggesting the enduring gestures of water against stone, where repetition becomes refinement and fluidity is carved into permanence. Crafted with an architect’s precision and a sculptor’s instinct, their silhouettes evoke the striated landscapes and smooth sea-carved edges of Lerici’s shoreline

Exclusively for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN and hand-sculpted in Italy in a limited edition of twelve, this series captures the singular essence of a place where earth meets sea with quiet drama and enduring elegance
