A seamless birch wood surface with a uniform and organic texture and an almost monolithic aesthetic effect.
The precious birch top layer acquires the rich textile’s new personality thanks to the innovative surface treatment, colors and crossed-brushed technique. Fabrique has its own story to tell, evoking the great industrial revolutions when technology moved at high-speed creating new lifestyles. And man has flown up with it tracking his roots down. It’s the reality we face today.
Marc Sadler is a French citizen born in Austria who has lived and worked in Europe, North America and Asia. One of the first graduates in industrial aesthetics from ENSAD in Paris, he perfected the first fully recyclable ski boot in thermoplastic in the early 1970s, the start of a long career in sports design and new materials.
Four times a winner of the Compasso d’Oro, he has work in the design collections of MoMA in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. For Listone Giordano he designed Fabrique, a birch floor with the personality of a rich textile, and Trafic, inspired by the wooden streets of 19th-century London, Paris and New York.
