On this important anniversary, Sayerlack is donating an educational design bookcase and 70 books for children and teenagers to the Pianoro municipal playroom.
Since 1954, Sayerlack, part of The Sherwin-Williams Company, has been committed to innovation and quality in wood treatment and finishing. Thanks to a pioneering approach and the vision of its founder, Giancarlo Cocchi, the Company established its first research laboratory in 1958 and has achieved significant milestones over the years thanks to its commitment to innovative research and development. Sayerlack is focused on developing solutions that meet customer needs while enhancing and protecting wood, a precious and increasingly limited material.
Based in Pianoro (BO), Sayerlack invests in innovative technologies to deliver superior-quality products that respect the environment and exceed customer expectations. TheCompany is dedicated to providing products that are not only innovative but designed to overcome st complex wood finishing challenges. With a strong and lasting connection to the community, Sayerlack celebrates 70 years of collaboration and remains committed to building innovative products that will drive the business now and into the future.
To celebrate this important anniversary, Sayerlack has designed and created an educational design library, which has been donated to the Pianoro municipal playroom (LudoLab), a center for children and families living and working in the community. The library includes 70 books dedicated to young readers.
The bookcase, conceived as an educational experience, celebrates art and the world of colour through a three-dimensional chromatic scale. The idea is to introduce children to the concept of primary, secondary and tertiary colours in an intuitive and creative way. The primary colours (red, yellow and blue) are represented through rectangular shapes, which symbolise the base of the chromatic scale. The secondary colours (green, orange, purple and light blue), derived from the combination of the primaries, are instead associated with rounded shapes, creating a visual and tactile contrast to promote learning. Finally, the tertiary colours, obtained by combining the primaries and the adjacent secondaries, are represented in the beams of the bookcase shelves: for example, the union of purple and red creates fuchsia, while yellow and green give life to lime.
This unique bookcase represents the deep bond between the world of wood, coatings and colours, paying homage to the heart of Sayerlack’s operations. Through the design and the material used, the bookcase evokes the synergy between the natural wood material and the infinite variety of shades that coatings can create, combining aesthetics and functionality.
