Pimar
A delicate and sophisticated, raw and natural shade of beige characterizes Pimar Limestone’s designs. The brand is a magnificent tribute to the century-old tradition of Lecce limestone, inspiration for architects and designers worldwide.
Located in the heart of Salento, Pimar stands out as a company with a unique tradition in working with limestone for over 150 years.
Pimar has focused on extracting stone from its quarries and processing it to create highly exclusive projects. The services offered extend from the development and installation of facades and flooring to interior design, including the creation of design collections made from natural stone.
Pimar stone is a constant source of inspiration for internationally renowned architects, designers and artists looking for a multifunctional and unique material. The natural beauty of the stone and the bespoke workmanship have resulted in numerous projects realised in collaboration with renowned professionals, including Alvaro Siza, Philippe Starck, Michele De Lucchi, Renzo Piano, Palomba Serafini Associati, Michelangelo Pistoletto, among others.
A new sculptural creativity now complements Pimar’s already extensive production. Alongside projects dedicated to the architectural and construction sectors, distinctive design collections are taking shape. The stone block comes to life through the interpretations of designers and artists, giving rise to functional and aesthetic objects conceived for residential and hospitality interiors.
The entire project has also involved master craftsmen from Salento, reed weavers, and small local workshops—essential contributors who have made possible a collection defined by its authentic, zero-kilometre soul.
Thus Atelier Pimar was born: not merely a product line, but a creative and design laboratory representing the natural evolution of the Pimar identity. A space for experimentation where Lecce stone becomes a living material, capable of engaging in dialogue with contemporary design through a refined, essential, and sculptural language.
Atelier Pimar stands at the intersection of industrial expertise and artisanal sensitivity, between local heritage and international vision. Designers and artists are invited to engage directly with the material, exploring its expressive and structural potential to shape collections that transcend the boundary between art and function. Tables, seating, furnishings, and installations emerge from a shared process in which technological innovation and traditional craftsmanship coexist in perfect balance.
