Fiamma Nera: A Transatlantic Collaboration
Introducing Fiamma Nera. Interior Designer Maia Roffey of Black Sheep Interior Design in Canada, took pen to paper following a chance meeting with Italo Cannata Jr of South African stone fabricator, L.Cannata & Sons, at a marble show in the historic Italian town of Verona.
Cannata had recently launched a progressive, exploratory space in Cape Town called The Dialogue Room, which facilitates cross-pollination and innovation between architects, interior designers and creatives. The space is a breeding ground for electric creative collaborations, and their regular stone collections have set tongues wagging locally and abroad.
Roffey was so impressed with the calibre of design and craftmanship coming out of The Dialogue Room’s collaborations that she took the opportunity to partner with Cannata. Fiamma Nera is a fireplace mantle collection that elegantly combines tradition and innovation using the very latest in terrazzo styles.
“The profiles we’ve developed are quite special. Most ready-made mantle options are either very traditional or aggressively contemporary. I think the combination of our profiles and materials plays a balancing act between something rooted in tradition, but with a quirky personality that doesn’t take itself too seriously”, says Roffey.
This collaboration is the culmination of what happens when traditional craftsmanship and time-honoured materials meet with a fresh eye for adaptable applications and a dash of design zeitgeist.
