Foxtrot | Civita 1695
A wooden fabric that loses its traditional forms of parquet and is inspired by the works of Mies van der Rohe and Mondrian. An interweaving of lines, squares and rectangles that freely come together to create new surfaces.

Foxtrot | Natural Genius.
Modular floor covering made of three geometrical shapes: one square and two rectangles which keep the balance between lines and surfaces, between materials and colours inspired by a sign of modernity.
As always in my projects, the starting point is designing something that doesn’t really look like it has been designed. Meaning that I’d rather seek the essence of things in my projects! I believe that despite the contemporary nature of my projects, there is actually a strong classical sense. I don’t mean classic as the copy of a capital or a baroque floor, but as proportion between all the parts, a balance in terms of form. This is why for Foxtrot I thought of reinterpreting the worlds of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. While being a strong innovator, Mondrian has a strong Classical element in him.”
Foxtrot wood floor stands out for its uniform, elegant and yet essential appearance. When taking a close look to the wooden surface, we discover a geometrical pattern that can constantly generate new, different shapes by simply moving the angle of view.
Three simple shapes, three rectangular trapezoids, three brothers playing together, giving rise to countless unique combinations.
A seamless birch wood surface with a uniform and organic texture and an almost monolithic aesthetic effect.
Canzano reflected on the concept of exceeding the limit of objects to go beyond the shape that defines them, so that limit (and the limit of shape) is no longer static and insurmountable, but takes
Re-thinking traditional wood floor, where rounded, bevelled and curved boards along with a slight “bombé” effect of the surface create a new language.
