Design can certainly contribute to society by creating useful objects that are beautiful and easy to use. In the design of objects or interior spaces Ascanio tries to use natural products, respectful of the environment, in the designed spaces you can breathe this harmony between colors and materials. There is continuous research on materials, finding in wood a design partner, not just a material to be used, to produce objects or environments. According to him, wood is the sensory material par excellence, color, shape and perfume. Each of us who loves nature tries to bring a piece of wood into the house, perhaps because with this act we bring nature, life into the house. Every space and every object is conceived and designed for a specific function, beauty must first of all be functional, harmonious. The designer has the task of designing beautiful, useful and functional objects, suitable for making everyday acts simpler and happier. Access Ascanio Zocchi Newsroom

Dining Table
Table inspired by the natural phenomenon of karst erosion called Karren, present in the Dolomites. The concept of this object, made of precious Carrara statuary marble, represents the beauty and fragility of the mountain. Inside the grooves are placed steel balls that symbolize the flow of water that erodes the marble over time. Beauty, fragility, dynamism and energy enclosed in a single object.
