House of Stone, by John Pawson, 2010 - in Milan, Italy
Coinciding with the Milan Furniture Fair, the 2010 Interni Think Tank was billed as a ‘laboratory of ideas for the projects of tomorrow’. Architects and designers were assigned a manufacturing partner and commissioned to create installations for a series of sites within the city’s Università degli Studi.
The Stone House is a response both to its location in the double-arcaded Cortile Settecento and to the character of an innovative recycled stone product, Lithoverde – literally ‘green stone’ - developed by John Pawson’s project collaborator - Salvatori.
