To create a new object I always start with the idea of doing something beautiful and harmonious according to my thought, not necessarily eccentric. What I am looking for is the quality of light. We can find it in lamps like Petra and Vera, for which we have tried to offer the best visual comfort.
A light that does not fatigue the eyes, an indirect lighting that thanks to the LEDs, and only 40 Watt, it succeed to replicate the effect of the old halogen lamps, which however consumed 350/400 Watts.
In the search for an idea of classy, colors are fundamental. With the wrong color, the lamp has a completely different effect. This is why we work a lot on colors. Thanks to the finishes, we are able to give to the lamp a material effect, like that of stone, which is pleasing because it recalls nature.
With the introduction of particular handmade process on the surfaces of the materials, we have created real textures (ex. Petra: etruscan gold, etruscan silver, etruscan copper, slate). In addition to the lamp’s design, we give a color recognition, so that the color makes a trend.
The goals is also to turn the finisch into a brand of Icone.
