Marc Sadler’s interpretation gives the wood surface a decidedly contemporary spirit, carrying with it a message for the future: technology and respect for the environment must coexist and progress together. On the same streets.
French citizen born in Austria, Marc Sadler has lived and worked for many years in Europe, North America and Asia. One of the first students graduating esthétique industrielle” at ENSAD in Paris with a final paper in experimentation with plastics. At the beginning of the seventies, he perfect the first ski-boot in thermo plastic material completely recyclable, subsequently commercialised by the Italian firm Caber.
This is the origin of his specialisation as a sports designer, which led to close collaboration with the most important multinational sport companies in the world. Working in this sector, which has often pioneered research into new materials and techniques, provided the experience to enable him to bring innovation to more traditional areas where is set a concept of design as pure aesthetic shape. Awarded 4 times with the Compasso d’Oro ADI (Industrial Design association), his work has won many international design awards over the years. His motorcyclist’s back protector designed for Dainese is now housed in the permanent collection of design at the MOMA in New York and the lamp Mite (Foscarini) is part of the design collection of the Beaubourg in Paris.
Fabrique.
Natural Genius.
The precious birch top layer acquires the rich textile’s new personality thanks to the innovative surface treatment, colors and crossed-burushed technique.
Fabrique has its own story to tell, evoking the great industrial revolutions when technology moved at high-speed creating new lifestyles. And man has flown up with it tracking his roots down. It’s the reality we face today.
“I love the spirit and atmosphere drawn by Fabrique. This collection has its own story to tell, evoking the great industrail revolutions. The Birch plywood acquires a rich textile personality and great colours’palette!”

Trafic.
Natural Genius.
Marc Sadler signs a new wooden surface for Listone Giordano that reinterprets the head fibre flooring in a contemporary key. Inspired by the 19th century pavage en bois of the wooden streets of London, Paris and New York, it tells of an era of genius and radical transformation. Trafic is a tribute to a past of change, innovation and new lifestyles: a dialogue with history that invites reflection on the present, the speed of change and the need to rediscover authentic connections with our roots.
“The wood with the head fibre is full of charm and harks back to an era driven by technological innovation and to cities full of energy – St Petersburg, London, Paris, New York – where modernity was designed. Marc Sadler’s interpretation gives this surface a resolutely contemporary spirit that carries a message for the future: technology and respect for the environment must live together and progress together. On the same streets”.
