Sculpture inspires the Dermacolor 2026 Calendar

Dermacolor presents its third calendar: Sculpted Icons, a project that once again celebrates boundless creativity, which has always been at the heart of the company’s claim “Unleash Your Creativity.”

A tribute to sculptures from all worlds and styles

The 2026 edition pays homage to 12 iconic sculptures, reinterpreted as digital art illustrations dedicated to universal and meaningful symbols. Among the works celebrated are Michelangelo’s David, the Riace Bronzes, the Egyptian Sphinx, the Fang Bane statues of Cameroon, Koons’ sculptures, and modern masterpieces such as Mirò and Boccioni, as well as other figures who have marked the history of art.

Each month becomes a tribute to art forms from different eras and cultures, reminding us that inspiration can come from anywhere: history, matter, imagination.

The “little cow”: symbol and protagonist

Dermacolor’s famous graphic icon becomes the face of the sculptures: it enters the works, takes on their expressions, and integrates completely into the artistic forms. This creative gesture transforms a corporate symbol into an artistic element, demonstrating that any material—like leather—can be shaped, reinvented, and sculpted according to the creator’s vision.

Unlimited creativity

Just as an artist shapes matter, Dermacolor allows tanneries to overcome technical limitations, explore new effects, and create unique products. The calendar thus becomes a visual manifesto of the company’s philosophy: it is not matter that sets boundaries, but imagination.

Temporary exhibition at the Dermacolor headquarters

Once again this year, the original images from the 2026 calendar are on display at the Dermacolor headquarters in Castelfranco di Sotto (PI), in the Italian tanning center of excellence, in a temporary exhibition set up in the company’s modern meeting room.

With a surface area of 1,800 square meters, Dermacolor serves the tanning industry on a daily basis, with analysis, research, and development laboratories for wet-end and finishing, and the entire production department, confirming its role as a leading Italian manufacturer active in the world of chemical solutions for leather.
