synopsis : :  This was a combined popup showroom for a stone compnay, a lighting maker and a bathroom fixture producer. We "flooded" this old monastery space with the clean and pure pietra serena stone to recreate a topography that, as in real landscapes, molds the shape of water, guides our walking and gives a context to the objects to better admire them : : photos by Giovanni di Sandre : :
