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.
Some places are not defined by their function, but by the atmosphere they generate. This consideration gave birth to "Piazza Interiore", an installation by GamFratesi for ALPI at 3daysofdesign. Hosted at Narrow Creative in Copenhagen, the setting is conceived as a piazza both intimate and traversable, inspired by the metaphysical aura of paintings by Giorgio de Chirico. Mysterious architectural elements, sharp shadows and silent perspectives build a sequence of three rooms with Mediterranean sensitivity. Wood is the material that dilates time and space throughout the exhibit.
