Monitillo 1980, located in the heart of Puglia in the Murgia hills in the boot of Italy, has a production area covering 12,000 square meters for processing marble, granite and other natural stones. Since it was founded, its mission has been to celebrate the beauty and versatility of stone, transforming them into furnishings, wall panelling and accessories that blend into home environments like works of art.
The company‘s philosophy is based on a customized production process marked by quality and excellence. The careful selection of slabs combined with manual processing phases and computer numerical control precision techniques enable a carefully monitoring of each phase of a project, thereby creating personalized solutions.
Among the panelling available is the Walls & Floors Collection designed by internationally renowned architects under the artistic direction of Efrem Bonacina. The ideas mirror the form and structure of the walls, giving surfaces volume and movement in addition to highlighting the beauty and purity of the raw materials.
The collection features a combination of different types of materials such as traditional marble and travertine which are juxtaposed with amber-coloured accents of bronze and metal. This adds a touch of warmth to objects and makes them suitable for creating inviting ambiences with a particular charm.
We publish the company descriptions.
“Dedalo,” design: Claesson Koivisto Rune. Linear geometries are the protagonists of the Dedalo collection, with a design that draws on nature-inspired shapes. The pattern develops vertically and horizontally, immediately creating an immersive scenario where one can lose their gaze. The different possible combinations start from a format with two different inclinations that create dynamic lines.
“Marea,” design: Chapman Taylor. Bold geometries, straight and oblique lines for an elegant and dynamic effect. With the Marea series, marble fills with vital traces, featuring a modern design complemented by metallic materials for even more light and mobility.
“Profondo,” design: Defne Koz + Marco Susani. Profondo stands out for the soft and sinuous lines of its elements. Its design includes four different graphics, to be combined creatively according to needs: from a denser and more regular pattern to lighter compositions. Profondo is worked “with splits or grooves” that give softness to the hardness of marble, creating a tactile experience for the user.
“Vela,” design: Claesson Koivisto Rune. The soft and linear geometries of Vela give rise to a design where simplicity and form contrast coexist in harmony. Available in three different formats, the Vela modules feature strongly rounded geometries that, when combined together, ensure elegance and a soft effect, as well as different installation types.
“Punto,” design: Andrea Maffei. Punto integrates the marble surface with circular metal elements. Real metal points coexist on a marble base, creating multi-material geometric patterns that follow one another.
“Iride,” design: Claesson Koivisto Rune. Like a stretch of precious pearls, Iride develops with a regular pattern of spherical lines and small triangular details, true points of contact between the circular shapes. Two formats for a collection that, thanks to the millimetric precision of the interlocks, allows combinations between the marble spheres and metal inlays with innovative PVD treatment.
“Scultura,” design: Felix Millory. Scultura is a surface shaped by hand, alive with depth and shadow, its organic rhythm enhancing the tactile qualities of the material and turning the wall into a living, dynamic presence.
“Parallelo,” design: Claesson Koivisto Rune. The design of Parallelo is distinguished by its linear and essential motif. Its minimal geometry and wide range of composition possibilities among the seven different available formats (with linear combinations in the same direction or multi-directional) guarantee a unique marble scenography for the destination surface. The grooves, which create the play of lines, give each environment unexpected and original light effects.
“Segni,” design: Felix Millory. Segni, by contrast, is defined by irregular, almost primal incisions that form a spontaneous and imperfect visual rhythm, where every variation is intentional and meaningful.
“Intreccio,” design: Virginia Arlotto. The Intreccio collection is inspired by the art of weaving, recreating the elegance and refinement typical of fine fabrics using marble. Delicate engravings, executed with artisanal precision, create a subtle contrast that plays with light and shadow, adding depth and a three-dimensional quality to each slab. The natural veining of the marble blends harmoniously with the geometric lines of the engravings, enhancing the sense of visual continuity and offering a texture that invites tactile exploration. The organic hues of the marble meet a contemporary geometric design, creating sophisticated yet understated surfaces.
“Cava,” design: Claesson Koivisto Rune. Inspired by essential geometric shapes, Cava plays on the union of traditional textures and three-dimensional effects. Available in two different formats, the sinuousness of the central circular element translates into a concave shape, giving the composition originality and unique light effects.
