ABOUT STRATO
About Strato
From respect for the nature of the material to the enduring elegance of Italian design.
Strato was founded in 1990, stemming from the desire to create a unique entity in the international design universe, combining the love of art, design and Italian cuisine into a single vision responsible for sculptural and finely crafted elements.
The Poetry of Materials
For Strato, a well-balanced living space is created when its components conjure up a sense of authenticity that only nature can provide.
The material, the source and primary element of an organic design, must evoke a high degree of sensory, chromatic, tactile and perceptive experience, transforming itself into a permeable and functional art.
For this reason, in our designs we favour the use of natural materials, which, thanks to careful ecological processing, fully preserve their tactile and visual characteristics and maintain the natural poetry of the material.
The most commonly used materials include various types of marble, stone, unique fossil woods and a wide range of metallic materials such as titanium, copper, brass and steel in its various forms.
The Philosophy Behind a Project
A STRATO project is a completely personalised project based on a deep respect for the personal architecture of living spaces.
Each product, from STRATO CASA furniture to residential kitchens and sculptural elements, is designed according to a studio culture that focuses on the value of the individual relationship with the environment.
Over the years, STRATO has maintained a formal aesthetic with essential lines, transcending contemporary trends but not remaining indifferent to the demands of the environmental and technological scenario, in order to create a timeless and highly innovative product.
The freedom to create, the uniqueness of craftsmanship and the meticulous and painstaking search for the finest materials, often rare or endangered, are among the company’s core values.
High-End Italian Craftsmanship
Since 1990, STRATO has remained faithful to its model of craftsmanship and to handing down the Italian know-how of excellence.
For more than 20 years, STRATO’s unique processing technique has made it possible to combine different high quality materials in a single element, creating the illusion of a single body in which the joints are absent at both visible and tactile level.
It is only through this processing that, over the years, it has been possible to experiment with forms with a futuristic appearance (Eclettica, 2009), which require an elaborate technical finish, through to the creation of works with essential lines (Semplice Copper, 2012), which require an excellent finish to emphasise the purity of the form. Intimate and exceptional attention to detail gives Strato pieces their own unmistakeable identity, thanks to the skilful hands of artisans, guardians of ancient crafts, who represent Italian excellence.
