MAR/APR 2019_ _ 053↑ PERCEPTION COLLECTION BY ANTOLINI
Installed at increasingly steep angles, these
floor-to-ceiling vertical slats create an optical
illusion as one passes by: A wall that initially
reads as solid subtly transforms to reveal an
image behind, which once again recedes from
view. A wide range of stone types from the
Italian manufacturer’s collections can be used
to create the installations. Images can be custom-
ized to suit any environment, though a muted
palette offers a fantastically subtle impression.

Made from multiple layers of fibreglass-reinforced
gypsum and paired with a plant-based foam core,
these InterlockingRock panels are lightweight, low-VOC
and fire safe. A recent addition to the collection, Cosmo
features a relief of stepped and inverted pyramids and
can be painted any colour. The 81-by-81-centimetre
panels (the size was determined to result in less waste-
ful offcuts) snap into place thanks to a joint system
of steel-reinforced registration tabs and they are easily
installed on irregular walls. modulararts.com→ B-FISH BY SALVATORI
Expanding on his Raw series of
surface treatments, Piero Lissoni
developed four new textures,
including B-Fish. The thin, baton-
like protrusions can be arranged
in uniform, staggered or herring-
bone patterns to introduce varying
degrees of depth – a quality that
is further emphasized by how
natural light plays off the surface.
The 70-by-40-millimetre tiles are
available in Bianco Carrara, Crema
d’Orcia, Pietra d’Avola and Silk
Georgette. salvatori.itOFFERING BOTH TEXTURE AND PATTERN,
