surfaces

Ranieri surfaces are not applied finishes, but the result of a direct engagement with lava. Each surface is a way of working with the material: there is no “best” one, only what is most coherent with the project. It is not just an aesthetic choice, but a technical and cultural one. Ranieri is a system of balances between control and unpredictability. Choosing means defining how much variability to accept, how visible the lava should remain, and how much unpredictability to embrace.
