PLANIUM has investigated the soul of Metals, exploring their infinite potential
I have read, listened, written, drawn, painted, photographed, visited… Everything can be more interesting if you remain curious, if you do not lose the desire to learn and experiment. I pause to observe the contrasts of colors, the different points of view of a shot, the sound of synonyms with which the same thing can be described, the harmony of a painting. A note can also be color, poetry is also melody, an image can scream more than one word. The expression: that's all... it's all here. (Editorial Director - Art Director)
To talk about myself I would use the English concept of Language Enthusiast, with its bad translation into Italian. Years of study, travel and authentic and pulsating passion for what lies beyond the border converge in this expression. I have an indiscriminate interest in any culture and any person with a story to tell. I remain with difficulty compressed in my dimension, I feel the continuous need to push myself further. I can't stand the innuendo, the half sentences and the boredom of waiting rooms. Certainly communicative, analytical, I split reality into a thousand pieces and then reassemble it. I think and write in 4 languages, which I love all of them, because inside they sing me a beautiful song. (Editor - Translator).
What unites Piacentini's Architecture with Greenaway's Cinema, Munari's Design with Tiepolo's painting and Kandiskij's studies? What unites the election posters with the paper tickets we used for the tram? For visual culture, the challenge of the third millennium lies in seeing the red thread that binds each of its branches to tell the image and aesthetics. I would like to do it through a passion that comes from the tradition of classic cinema. After all, what is the history of Design if not the cerebral attempt to give a soul to matter, to plagiarize the form according to its most hidden meaning and all to be revealed? (Editor - Reporter)

A patch of oceanic blue expands, you see red-hot lava making its way, opening a passage or a galactic nebula, floral motifs, inlaid shapes, light, dark, opaque, brilliant up to the shadows of the earth. The color reveals itself, turns and then denies its sight, landing again elsewhere.
Metal sheets that allow the colors to emerge, in more or less intense shades. Like the surface of water that ripples, expands and then changes appearance, here are our creations.
PLANIUM has investigated the soul of Metals, exploring their infinite potential; it perceived them in their becoming, it felt their movement. The alteration of them, through OXIDATION, is an inebriating process, which enchants those who live and experience it.
The Seconds, the Minutes, the Hours... Time imprints Life on the plate.
Nothing goes back as before but it flows, it evolves, it transforms in a surprising metamorphosis. The knowledge of Metal surfaces, their characteristics and their beauty, studied over a long path of experience, have generated the conditions and the opportunity to go further and create again. A whole dimension has emerged that opens up in splashes of color, in a new materiality, in the fusion of unexpected sensations that unfold together in original slabs and designer objects. METAL-MORPHOSIS was born and color always triumphs.
Each sheet is carefully chosen and prepared for the subsequent transformation that will make it unrepeatable: from conception to creation is implemented through the skilful use of laser cutting and controlled oxidation techniques.
For over 20 years we have been covering areas in prestigious contexts around the world, in the public and private sector: hotels, showrooms, points of sale, fairs, museums, car and motorbike dealerships, offices, banks, schools.
Incredible shades emerge from the backgrounds in which the type of Metal sometimes shines through, its unaltered identity: you can then see the precious and warm notes of Copper and Brass, the variegated accent of Stainless Concrete, of Oxidized Steel and Luna or still the unpredictability of Calamine.
Technology and innovation are the basis of the design of eco-sustainable installation systems and the search for new textures. PLANIUM was created with the aim of proposing emotional surfaces made of natural, recyclable materials, with captivating aesthetics and high-performance, functional and quick to install characteristics.
