Chiocciola
Bing Thom Architects and Fazioli have created a custom instrument designed to reflect Westbank’s latest architectural project in the heart of downtown Vancouver, The Butterfly. The architects sought to capture the same experiential qualities inherent in the design of this futuristic tower. The lightness of the legs and rails echoes the open garden breezeways, while its delicately sculpted geometry recalls the soft undulations of the tower’s skin, abstracted from the surrounding landscapes.

Masterpiece
The inside of the lid is veneered in contrasting grains forming a diamond checkerboard pattern evoking the marble floors if Art Deco’s golden age. The outer surface of the lid of Fazioli Chiocciola is a masterpiece of geometric panache and virtuosity of Fazioli craftsmen.
Disparate
Inlaid with mother-of-pearl and ebony the thin checkerboard ribbon frames the rectangular panels that host a diamond pattern. The tonal unity of the matched veneers of Fazioli Chiocciola underscores the beauty of disparate patterns of maple and sycamore.
Luxury
The gold wheels and hardware disappear in the blond effervescence of the luxurious and sunny Fazioli Chiocciola. Ideal for a Deco-inspired interior it will enliven and accentuate a mid-century and contemporary space with a touch of Hollywood glamour. Just like the blond sirens of the silver screen Fazioli Chiocciola is impossible to look away from.
