202440th anniversary of the Laboratorio Chimico Sammarinese (LCS) - Miniature Sheet

The San Marino Postal Service has chosen to dedicate a series of postal issues to businesses that have contributed to the economic and social development of the country, a journey through the excellences of the local territory that have distinguished themselves through their efforts over the years. The first issue of this series celebrates the Laboratorio Chimico Sammarinese (LCS), a company that is part of the Coswell Group and that over time has guaranteed employment to many families and growth to the local economy. To celebrate 40 years of activity, LCS has promoted an innovative art project focusing on environmental sustainability and social commitment, two cornerstones of its corporate mission. During a workshop held in June 2024, artist Mario Arlati and students of the Atelier Servizio Disabilità of San Marino gave pieces of cloth a new lease of life, creating an extraordinary work of art, the result of regenerative experimentation, which will be donated to the Republic. On the sheet, four stamps reproduce snapshots of various stages of the workshop: a close-up of the coloured fabrics of the artwork, the selection of the pieces of fabric, the painting stage, and a particular detail of the artwork. On the left side of the sheet is an image of the entire piece of art and a QR code, which can be scanned to view a backstage video about the project.
