Santo Passaia designs high-level furniture and locations, both from qualitative and dimensional point of view, creating unrepeatable design interiors thought for a niche target, expert in beauty and classic, in the authentic “made in Italy”. It is a company from Verona that for sixty years, with great passion reveals all around the world an exclusive and luxurious living philosophy, absolutely unique.
Specialized in the creation of real “jewellery made of wood” and outstanding locations of decorative and functional importance, the company always work together with the major interior design masters. The architect Luigi Bruno is an example of this, an inspirer of great projects, creating core architectures based on the personal taste of the people who will live in it. A philosophy that first marries the unmistakable and classic of the “boiseries created in full relief” expressed and declined, often reinterpreted in any contest and area in a contemporary way: from the private villa to the interior design business, from the hotel contract to the navy and yacht industry.
Project and creation are at the centre of each design. The “project” meant as the designer’s creativity and fantasy in building unique environments, drawing from the great artistic and architectonic Italian tradition. The “construction” is the art of making original works without equivalents using a fine and antique raw material as wood, which is worked and moulded through the manual ability of expert craftsmen and cabinetmakers, but also through advanced techniques and cutting edge machinery. In light of this last concept, the company is always researching fruitful partnerships with companies specialized in the wood carving, ready to pursue the excellence, masterfully mixing the craft know-how with groundbreaking technologies, creative Italian talent with an innate challenge vocation.
In this respect and in the occasion of the 25th edition of Abitare Il Tempo in Verona, Santo Passaia wanted to display together with Berti Pavimenti Legno an important project, studied in close synergy with the skilled workers and the Technical Office of the company from Villa del Conte. It is about the presentation of the original salon intended for a luxury dwelling, in which the floor, often neglected by the interior architects and designers, had an essential role: to convey to users the sense of beauty and balance of the entire space. A perfect mirror of the false ceiling structure, the wood floor designed by Berti had to dialogue, through shape and design, with all the surrounding architecture, in the full respect of symmetry and proportions.
Developed on a total surface of 65 square metres, the prestigious parquet had to be provided with a teak background where stands out, at the centre of the luxurious environment, a decoration by Rizzardi design made with maple wood inlays, oak wood, cabreuva wood and doussié wood. To do as a frame to this very elegant central work, many wood trims by Bigli design that interchange with Ghellini tiles by Disegni collection. The floor, draw and made for the Santo Passaia specific project, represents the confirmation of Berti ability to respond on time the many requests of the most demanding customers, suggesting a distinguishing products for the absolute technical quality and the high aesthetic worthiness.
