The marsh walking aid Cianta reinterprets the crossing of unstable and impervious grounds, stabilizing the step and enlarging the support surface. Part of the Pantano project, it emerges from Studio Lievito’s research on marshland landscapes and on instability as a metaphor for adaptation, balance, and coexistence. 🌾🌿
Made of woven marsh grasses gathered in the Padule di Fucecchio, Cianta translates a technical principle into a cultural gesture: walking becomes a continuous negotiation with the terrain, where balance is not imposed, but constructed through attention and flexibility.
In Pantano, design does not seek to dominate the landscape, but to inhabit it through forms of listening, reversibility, and respect toward a fragile ecosystem.

As part of the Italian Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, Studio Lievito takes part in Terrae Aquae. Italy and the Intelligence of the Sea, curated by Guendalina Salimei and promoted by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture.
Set within the evocative spaces of the Tese delle Vergini in the Arsenale, the exhibition reflects on the sea as an expanded, intelligent infrastructure—where land and water, nature and artifice, city and coastline, are in constant negotiation.
Italy’s identity is deeply rooted in this amphibious condition, and Terrae Aquae explores how this relationship can be reimagined in light of environmental, cultural, and geopolitical urgencies.�Studio Lievito contributes to this collective reflection with a project that investigates matter and memory, tradition and transformation, drawing a line between Mediterranean heritage and contemporary design language.
A shift in perspective, from land to sea—where boundaries dissolve, and new forms of coexistence emerge.
