Listone Giordano presents Graphit, a wooden surface project that combines business research with the rhythm of the circular economy. The wooden flooring, created in partnership with Alisea Recycled & Reused Objects Design from an innovative production process, generated by the demand to give new life to several tons of graphite, coming from the processing of industrial plants, with related issues of time, space and annual disposal costs. The act of recycling contributes to the virtuous model of the circular economy, which involves a gradual decoupling of economic activity from the consumption of finite sources and the design of waste out of the system.
Research, for Listone Giordano, is first and foremost a path and general company involvement rather than simple product innovation. It is characterized by the strong attention dedicated to the design of all aspects that concern even the deepest, and less immediately apparent, layers of its production activity. Hence, the business partnership with Alisea is based on common values fertilized by a thought for the future of the planet and the well-being of its inhabitants. A curiosity, the custom of dyeing textiles with graphite has distant origins — a thousand-year history that has its roots in no less than ancient Rome.
