BIG contributed its design vision, <a href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/en\/contemporary-luxury-lighting-contardi-alma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free from conventions and capable of uncovering unexplored forms<\/a> and possibilities within materials, while Nerosicilia brought its expertise in working with lava stone, rooted in its physical and cultural proximity to the <strong>Etna Volcano<\/strong>. Together, they shaped a series of furnishings that push the boundaries of stone, rediscovering its most authentic potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This research led to the creation of <strong>1669<\/strong>: a collection of<strong> dining and coffee tables<\/strong> in lava stone that celebrates this<strong> natural material<\/strong> in its most <strong>authentic and radical form<\/strong>. The name references the historic 1669 eruption of Mount Etna, which gave rise to the very stone used in the collection&#8217;s making. The collection is the result of a creative process in which the stone was transformed solely through its intrinsic physical properties and the power of heat, without the use of glues, metals, or binders.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_2.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_1.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                <\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div id=\"tdi_2\" class=\"td-gallery td-slide-on-2-columns\">\r\n                    <div class=\"post_td_gallery\">\r\n                        <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-top\">\r\n                           <div class=\"td-gallery-title\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"td-gallery-controls-wrapper\">\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-count\"><span class=\"td-gallery-slide-item-focus\">1<\/span> of 3<\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-prev-next-but\">\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-left doubleSliderPrevButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-right doubleSliderNextButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n                        <div class = \"td-doubleSlider-1 \">\r\n                            <div class = \"td-slider\">\r\n                                \r\n                    <div class = \"td-slide-item td-item1\">\r\n                        <figure class=\"td-slide-galery-figure td-slide-popup-gallery\">\r\n                            <a class=\"slide-gallery-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_2.jpg\" title=\"Nerosicilia_2\"  data-caption=\"Nerosicilia\"  data-description=\"\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_2.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_2.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_2-696x464.jpg 696w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" alt=\"Nerosicilia\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1800px;

That\u2019s how 1669 was born from lava stone and the desire to rediscover its truest essence, not by forcing it, but by accompanying it through its natural transformation,\u201d stated <strong>Biagio Amar\u00f9<\/strong>, founder of Nerosicilia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the experimentation phase, a fascinating phenomenon emerged: when exposed to extreme temperatures, <strong>lava stone tends to revert to lava<\/strong>, losing its geometry to <strong>take on new, fluid, and unpredictable forms<\/strong>. This reaction inspired the design of 1669\u2014a circular top fused directly onto a hollow cylinder that serves as a pedestal.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_8.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_7.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_9.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                <\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div id=\"tdi_3\" class=\"td-gallery td-slide-on-2-columns\">\r\n                    <div class=\"post_td_gallery\">\r\n                        <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-top\">\r\n                           <div class=\"td-gallery-title\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"td-gallery-controls-wrapper\">\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-count\"><span class=\"td-gallery-slide-item-focus\">1<\/span> of 3<\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-prev-next-but\">\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-left doubleSliderPrevButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-right doubleSliderNextButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n                        <div class = \"td-doubleSlider-1 \">\r\n                            <div class = \"td-slider\">\r\n                                \r\n                    <div class = \"td-slide-item td-item1\">\r\n                        <figure class=\"td-slide-galery-figure td-slide-popup-gallery\">\r\n                            <a class=\"slide-gallery-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_8.jpg\" title=\"Nerosicilia_8\"  data-caption=\"Nerosicilia\"  data-description=\"\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_8.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_8.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_8-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_8-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_8-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nerosicilia_8-696x464.jpg 696w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" alt=\"Nerosicilia\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1800px;
