THE STORY ABOUT MARBLE OUR COMPANY RECOUNTS IS 110 YEARS OLD.

delsavio1910

The story about marble our company recounts is 110 years old. Since its establishment, in 1910, three generations of Del Savio followed one another in leading the firm: first Secondiano, then Mario (with a temporary contribution of his brother Marcello), and, presently, the two brothers Manuele and Manuela.

IDENTITY

The company, originally specialised in Terrazzo and Palladiana floorings, progressively broadened its industrial production and nowadays manufactures marble for different purposes, such as furnishings, various types of coverings, and the construction industry. Through a radical modernisation of its manual techniques Del Savio 1910 has enriched its traditional production with different creation processes and creative languages, in order to combine marble with other materials. These innovations mirror the company’s characterising, constant push towards new challenges as well as its cutting-edge profile.

ARTISANAL
BACKGROUND

The roots of our artisanal atelier, based in Pordenone, are profoundly connected with a local, traditional production of mosaic and terrazzo. This heritage is historically associated with the town of Spilimbergo and its globally renowned Mosaic School, founded in 1922. The history of our company encompasses the two World Wars, the economic boom of the Sixties, and the quick changes which characterised the Italian manufacturing market during the Eighties and Nineties.
Today, Del Savio 1910 carries on its unique artisanal work by using only the finest materials, by employing highly qualified artisans, and by making use of high-tech equipment. In combining tradition and innovation, past and present, we value and enhance the unique cultural heritage which has been the calling card of our company from the very outset.

PASSION

"The story of our business is more than 100 years long. Our work went through a number of phases and experienced various transformations, due to the historical circumstances of the last decades.
The big crisis of the seventies substantially affected the company, that, since before that point, had been specialising in Palladiana floorings.
With the arrival of ceramic floor tiles, the marble market suffered a real upheaval. The result of which was a collapse in the demand for marble floors, implicating the necessity for our company to reinvent itself. And here it came the first “corporate conversion”. We, therefore, started specialising in the manufacturing of marble for the construction industry, equipping our laboratory with specific machinery to cut and polish marble. Our production changed radically.
Meanwhile, my sister Manuela and I were flanking our father in the managing of the company, whose business was consistently increasing. It was the beginning of the nineties. In that period, we started feeling the urge to broaden and diversify our product line.
In the summer of 2019, when we met Giorgia Zanellato and Daniele Bortotto, we felt an immediate connection and start exchanging ideas. Through experimental research, this affinity has now turned into an ambitious and challenging project."

CREATIVE DIRECTION

"We embraced the proposal of Manuela and Manuele Del Savio, who asked us to be part of the profound metamorphosis of their company – a transformation devised in the name of their family tradition and their historical manufacturing expertise. It has been an instinctive but complex creative process in which we have sought, again, to put into play our devotion for the genius loci, not only understood as the storytelling of places and lives, but also as a development of companies’ resources, of their expertise, and of their diverse identities.
The result of this collaboration is the evidence that manufacturing and technology are precious instruments to valorise our present and to imagine the future. By using them cleverly, we can collaborate with companies to trace new creative and productive scenarios."
