Marco Guazzini

Eyes on Talents member, Marco Guazzini, is a designer based in Milan. In 2015, he invented a new material, Marwoolus®, exclusively produced by Marco Guazzini Design S.r.l. in Italy. Marwoolus® is a composite material made of marble, wool and a bi-component binder. The result is a material that sustains the marble’s typical variegated veins, but with a closer look, it reveals its main characteristic, consisting of randomly scattered wool filaments that give fluidity to the design. Marble is reinvented to convey a new contemporary design aesthetic, breathing new life into this illustrious material. In June 2016 Marwoolus® became part of the prestigious permanent collection at the Vitra Design Museum, housed in the Schaudepot building on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany.
