SAMMARCO II BY IV DESIGN

Scope: Main Dining + Wine Room Ceiling Installations


We had the pleasure of bringing II BY IV DESIGN’s vision to life at SAMMARCO, where the ceilings become sculptural focal points within the space. In the main dining room, over 100 hand-poured plaster rays stretch across 77 feet, radiating from a custom oval medallion that anchors the space and draws the eye upward. The wine room offers a more intimate interpretation of the feature, centered around a custom-engraved medallion that echoes the main installation at a smaller scale.

Inspired by the warmth and tonal shifts of a Tuscan sunset, the installations were designed to transform throughout the day as light moves across the hand-finished surfaces, creating a layered sense of depth, movement, and shadow. Grounded in craftsmanship and materiality, the installations blur the line between architecture, sculpture, and finish.
