Conte

Conte is Alexander Brenner’s Special Edition for Listone Giordano, inspired by Roman Opus incertum—irregular small-stone lining—translated into oak squares and rectangles that alternate grain and format into an unoriented floor. The page narrative emphasises proportion and “lateral thought” over trend-driven patterning, aiming for a mystical balance that still reads as simple and logical.

Published colour is Oak Civita 1695. Designer credit is officially Alexander Brenner. Composition is described as a balance of relationships that appears simple while depending on intrinsic material relations, requiring careful realization precisely because its extraordinariness is not only external but derives from relationships within the material itself.

Technical data sheets for Conte are listed on the Technical Info index as available upon request; therefore module millimetres, thickness, and certification claims are omitted here pending those sheets. Specifiers should request Conte documentation before tender.

Conte is design-distinct from Between (Brenner’s wood-and-metal Special Edition) and from standard Classica and Heritage strip floors, and is included as an active Special Edition listing.
