RANIERI
CONTINUING THE MADE-TO-MEASURE CAMPANIAN TRADITION WITH SARTORIAL LAVASTONE
The Campanian firm Ranieri, renowned for its exquisite transformations of volcanic rock into cutting-edge art, architecture, and interior design, has been mastering the creation of custom made pieces since its founding. The ever-changing aesthetic of lavastone, combined with Ranieri’s production methods and capabilities, seamlessly integrating technological advancements with artisan techniques, enables the crafting of truly unique artifacts, perpetuating the celebrated Neapolitan tradition of sartorial made to measure. Recent examples of such custom made pieces include a 17-meter long dining table, indoor and outdoor stools, the installation Meteora presented at the collectible design gallery Nilufar and the project with the creative duo Touche-Touche for Dolce&Gabbana’s Gen D Vol.2. Ranieri is rooted at the foot of Mount Vesuvius and narrates a multi-generational story of lava stone mastery. Its physical proximity to the volcano, combined with Neapolitan craftsmanship handed down over the centuries, has shaped a pioneering treatment of the material unique to Ranieri, celebrating its natural state. Led by Giovanni Ranieri, the company is renowned for elevating the inherent beauty and diversity of lava, driving innovation by breaking away from conventional norms. This philosophy guides the work of the brand’s creative directors, architects and designers Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces, who employ innovative finishes and cutting techniques to meet any request for custom made pieces. Ranieri’s products showcase lava's hues and textures, eschewing uniformity and embracing its organic variations as strengths rather than flaws. Like lava stone, each product is born from the volcano and maintains a unique identity, making it the ideal complement to a custom made and truly unique object.
