SCHIAVELLO ColourLab Issue 1 Giulio Ridolfo studied at Domus Academy in Milan, and graduated with a Master of Fashion Design in 1985. He has since worked as a talented colour advisor to many of the world's leading interior, clothing and footwear companies. Giulio's contribution is not a traditional colour palette representing the full circle of colours. His colour compositions have more to do with expressing an attitude or a choice and this has resulted in a highly personal colourway. Giulio draws his inspiration from diverse sources such as photography, art, fashion and film. He gathers images,...

SCHIAVELLO ColourLab Issue 1 The Concept ColourLab is an honest and considered colour palette, compiled for Schiavello furniture applications to suit a variety of environments, embracing an array of textiles. Developed by Italian 'colour master' Giulio Ridolfo in collaboration with our design team, it was fostered through a process that wholly embraces the creative nature of colour.

SCHIAVELLO ColourLab Issue 1 Mastery of Materiality In his work with us, Giulio employed a creative approach that centres on the concept of materiality. This is the method he prefers – the tactile observation of colours alongside textures, rather than looking at flat colour alone. Much is missed when colour isn’t considered alongside the material it will be on, such as the balancing between roughness and shininess, or the difference between colour on a smooth material and a coarse one. Therefore Giulio works with physical samples and objects, placing them next to and on top of each other to develop...

SCHIAVELLO ColourLab Issue 1 After visiting Melbourne's CBD, observing the people (who were notably mostly in black), and waking at the crack of dawn to walk the city's gardens, he discovered inspiration in the native flora. Giulio absorbed the nature and the energy of the city's greenest spaces at times when the sun had only just begun settling on the leaves. He took something from each of these places. Giulio assembled a selection of items, some he had collected here in Melbourne, some he brought with him from Italy, and others he collected on his travels; everything precisely placed, layered...
