Lythos

CALM · CHARACTER · ELEGANCE

The stone as elegance

Stone inhabits spaceand dresses it with elegance.

Before furnishings, before changing light, a stone surface gives a room its pace: the underlying silence, the right distance between things, a firmness that goes unnoticed and is not forgotten. It neither imposes nor withdraws. It remains. Lythos begins with a quiet material: limestone, its mineral warmth, light settling without reflection. To this calm, slate lends elegance: character, direction, a subtle mark crossing the surface like writing. Not two stones placed side by side, but a new stone in which calm sustains character and character gives measure to calm.

In the morning it is seen. In the evening it is heard.

SystemFive earth tones shared with Brera

One stone, two natures

A warm, quiet material. A subtle mark.

The starting point is limestone: a fine-grained calcareous background where light settles without rebounding. The mark comes from slate: direction, subtle lamination, a few broader passages visible only from a distance. Lythos is a new, original stone that belongs in every space as though it had always been there.

Calm

A balanced material that asks nothing of the eye. Light settles on it without reflection.

Character

Direction and a subtle mark cross the surface like writing. Calm sustains character.

Elegance

Elegance without ceremony and depth without weight. What is present has a reason; what is absent is a choice.

The earths

Five tones, a system of relationships.

Avorio, Sabbia, Taupe, Terra and Grigio share the same chromatic structure as Brera. The same earth in two states: raw in Brera, stone in Lythos.

Three marks in stone

Strato, Linfa, Aurea.

Strato gives stone a vertical rhythm. Linfa sculpts a tone-on-tone leaf. Aurea lets a vein of warm burnished gold emerge. All are on Avorio in 60×120; Aurea is third-fired.
