ALPI is a leading manufacturer of decorative surfaces made of reconstituted wood. Being the first to industrialise this process, ALPIlignum veneer is made of real wood by taking apart and putting back together a tree–trunk. This creates a material that is not printed, and so designable as to offer limitless aesthetic effects. ALPI represents an undisputed gold standard in wood technology. The ALPIlignum Collection is FSC® 100% certified (FSC–C004666), thanks to full control of the supply chain. Profound synergy between ALPI and the design world has given rise to long–standing collaborations with design talents. Piero Lissoni has held the role of art director since 2015. ALPI products are distributed in more than 60 countries.
ALPI will present a site-specific installation designed by GamFratesi titled "Echoes of Form: classical shape, contemporary language" in the rooms of the prestigious Thorvaldsen's Museum. The project is rooted in a cultural and visual dialogue with Bertel Thorvaldsen's neoclassical sculptures on permanent display at the museum. Using ALPI wood surfaces created by international talents – nendo, Konstantin Grcic, Piero Lissoni, Estúdio Campana and more – GamFratesi has designed 14 sculptures that represent an ode to material and sculptural craft, a balanced equilibrium between classicality and contemporaneity.
