Research, territory, future
Primordial matter.
Uncompromising beauty.
"The ash of Etna is reborn as a surface for a more conscious architecture."
Etna was born from the REUCET 2018/2020 research project conducted by the University of Catania and funded by the Ministry of the Environment, dedicated to the recovery and use of volcanic ash from the 1669 eruption of Mount Etna.
Resistant, breathable, and boasting insulating properties, Etna enhances a local natural resource and makes a concrete contribution to a more sustainable circular economy model.
