Pietrasanta
The Pietrasanta series by Sauro Melchiorri draws inspiration from the rich history and artistic heritage of Pietrasanta, a Tuscan town often referred to as the “City of Artists” or “Little Athens.” For centuries, Pietrasanta has been a global epicenter of marble craftsmanship, attracting sculptors, architects, and designers to its storied workshops and quarries. During the Renaissance, Pietrasanta rose to prominence as master sculptors such as Michelangelo sought out its quarries for their incomparable marble, forging a legacy that endures to this day
The Pietrasanta collection honors this legacy by merging traditional marble-working techniques with Melchiorri’s contemporary vision. Each work is handcrafted in Italy from Verde Cipollino marble, a stone celebrated for its vibrant green coloration and sinuous veining, evoking the lush, rolling landscapes of Tuscany. The use of Verde Cipollino ties the collection to Pietrasanta’s artisanal past, while its innovative forms push the boundaries of marble as a medium for modern furniture design
Pietrasanta’s historic workshops have long been the meeting point for local artisans and international artists, fostering a culture of experimentation and collaboration. Guided by a commitment to this tradition, Melchiorri works closely with expert artisans to sculpt each work. Using techniques honed over centuries, the marble is carefully carved, honed, and polished to accentuate its unique aesthetic and tactile qualities
The Pietrasanta collection embodies a dialogue between artisanal heritage and contemporary design, timeless materials and modern innovation. Each work serves as a sculptural statement that brings the enduring beauty and rich legacy of Italian marble to any interior, from modernist spaces to more classical settings. Exclusively for Studiotwentyseven, each work is in strictly limited edition
