This space was once a night club and a lefebvrian church, two worlds that Edoardo Piermattei merged to create his studio and project space in Turin. The chose to restore its original name it held until 1978 in Lungo Dora Napoli 6 is a way to reconnect with its urban history.
Spelonca Project is a studio and production space open to diverse forms of collaboration. The spaces that house it, once a Lefebvrean church and a disreputable nightclub, carry with them very different histories.
The project is intended to remain a collective place, available to be transformed, contaminated, and rewritten by those who pass through it. A permanent construction site, never fully defined.
"Predelle" is a series of site-specific projects where the central composition emerges from the arrangement of custom tiles. Each piece is crafted from pigmented concrete and applied using a sac-à-poche technique.
The technical process behind the "Predelle" series is rooted in the study of matrices—the negative space of the larger works. The production follows a reverse methodology, beginning with a glass or plexiglass base that ensures a perfectly smooth, homogeneous surface. These elements can be applied to ceilings, walls, or floors, and are versatile enough to define architectural supports such as bars and tables.

SPELONCA x EDOARDO PIERMATTEI
Spelonca serves as the primary production hub for Edoardo Piermattei’s practice. All site-specific installations and large-scale works are conceived and realized within this project space. It is here that the dialogue between architectural research and material experimentation takes shape, transforming the studio into a laboratory where every surface is tested and every project is brought to life.
