LAMINAM, specialist in the production of large-size ceramic slabs with minimum thickness for exteriors and interiors,proves its strong bond with the world of Architecture by taking part, as a Supporter, in the 15th International Architecture Exhibition – La #biennale di Venezia, chosen for the affinity to the theme developed by its Curator Alejandro Aravena.
On this occasion the company presents the editorial project World Atlas Book, a limited edition architecture volume containing the most exciting images of #laminam references around the world, as a journey to discover cultures and artistic spirits. For over a year photographer Andrea Garuti travelled the five continents to create a photo feature combining architecture, reality and travel report, gently immortalising real-life scenes with powerful chromatic shades and tiptoeing along the path of respect for other peoples and cultures, expressing through images and life stories the conquering spirit and the journey towards new horizons, typical of architectural innovation and essence of LAMINAM’s activity.
Its brief history has not hindered #laminam from accumulating an impressive series of international references and the company has participated in the execution of important architectonic projects: innovation, cutting-edge technology and creative personality make LAMINAM’s heart beat all over the world, with its public and private buildings from the centre of Tokyo to the Chamber of Deputies in Mexico, from the School of Moscow to Fluxmans Building in South Africa, from Panmure Station in New Zealand to Bloor East in Toronto.
The book is unveiled during the round table “The Planet on the Surface” promoted by LAMINAM on May 26 at 4 pm in the Biennale’s Library, in the historic Central Pavillon at the Giardini venue. The event is an invitation to ideally fly over the world and glide on materials and methods, boundaries and creative utopias.The author and film director Raffaello Fusaro introduces and moderates some influential voices from the world of contemporary architecture that will debate on the theme, such as the architects Gianluca Peluffo, 5+1AA Alfonso Femia Gianluca Peluffo (Genova-Milan, Italy), Anupama Kundoo, Anupama Kundoo Architects (Auroville, India / Madrid, Spain) Zhang Ke, ZAO / Standardarchitecture (Beijing, China) e Humberto Campana, Estudio Campana (São Paulo, Brasil), with the special presence of Prof. Giuliana Bruno, Department of Visual and Environmental Studies, Harvard University (USA).
The participation of LAMINAM at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition – La #biennale di Venezia also takes a concrete form by supplying 3mm thick Calce Tortora slabs for Indian architect Anupama Kundoo’s installation at the Arsenale.
LAMINAM S.p.A.
Specialising in the production of large-size, minimum-thickness ceramic slabs for architecture, interiors, #design and furnishings, #laminam is the first company to have fully industrialised the manufacturing process. #laminam was founded in 2001, when the engineer Franco Stefani had the idea of patenting the technology of this innovative product and imagining how it could be used. These ceramic surfaces are produced using the cutting-edge machinery created by System Group, of which #laminam is part. The main factory, in Fiorano Modenese, Italy has been joined by two new facilities set to triple production capacity: one in Borgotaro (Parma, Italy), dedicated entirely to 1620x3240mm size slabs, and another in Russia, located in Balabanovo, not far from Moscow, reserved exclusively for 1000x3000mm slabs.
Perfectly flat, extremely light and with excellent material properties, these large-size, minimum-thickness ceramic slabs are the natural choice for applications in architecture and furnishings; with a catalogue of over 100 surfaces, #laminam offers a wide range of options designed to satisfy all tastes and styles, with soft, natural colours and ultra-modern, industrial and three-dimensional textures.
The company achieved a turnover of 50 million in 2015 (up 25% on the previous year), confirming the positive growth trend, with a further 25% rise forecast. It exports to Europe and North America, the Gulf States, Russia and the Far East, and its products are distributed in all 5 continents. #laminam boasts an extensive portfolio of projects created all over the world, and has established a number of important partnerships, in particular with the Japanese giant Toto, thanks to which #laminam is also able to offer the innovative photocatalytic treatment Hydrotect®, which makes the slabs self-cleaning.
