Milan Design Week is an important opportunity for brands to narrate themselves in a comprehensive way and bring out the values, principles and processes behind their products. For this reason, it is essential to imagine initiatives that go beyond the mere display of products, offering complex experiences capable of stimulating our perception and sensitivity in different ways.

With this attitude, Nexion, a leading manufacturer of large sintered stone slabs, will present its new concept 'Light on Light' at the next Fuorisalone. The aim of the installation at the Galleria Manzoni will be to involve visitors in sensory experiences that stimulate them to reflect on how light - an apparently simple and natural phenomenon, but a complex one to master in design and interior planning - profoundly influences experiences of visual perception.

Design Week will therefore be the moment for Nexion to reveal the in-depth study, research and experimentation carried out to create surfaces and materials capable of ensuring a high aesthetic and perceptive yield.

In particular, Nexion will present the Black Onyx variant of the Signature collection as an exemplary testimony to the brand's relentless care in representing nature, not simply imitating it, but as a source of inspiration for the creation of new innovative aesthetics. In fact, Black Onyx as a marble slab does not occur in nature, but Nexion and its designers have been able to create it through the homogenous and harmonious union of four types of precious Onyx with the refinement and depth of the colour of the Black Agate stone.

"The aim was to assemble four different types of mountains and extract the perfect block according to our aesthetic and stylistic requirements," comments Luca Majocchi, the company's CEO. "The greatest technical and stylistic effort of our designers was both in the research and selection of the uniqueness of the four starting onyxes, but also in the actual assembly of these elements; in fact, the real challenge was to combine characteristics such as the semi-transparency, mottling and crystallinity of pink and Brazilian green onyxes, with areas instead very rich in cloudiness and full of veins of red and yellow onyxes, giving the slab a feeling of movement."

The result is the creation of a product that does not exist in nature, but which Nature could perfectly create. The harmony in the production is evident in the streaks, veins and crystallizations suggested by Nature itself, reinterpreted and "sewn" to perfection by the expert designers of Nexion, like the most obsequious stylist. These concrete and tangible peculiarities, combined with the glossy mirror finishes, give a unique shine to the colors and an unrivaled depth.
