BLOWN GLASS, SHINY CHROMED METAL

The mechanics of the lamp stripped bare reveals the poetry of light.

The artistic manufacture of italian glass is a production process with limited standardisation: the pieces are blown singularly; for this reason they are similar but not equal although they belong to the same series.
This uniqueness, typical of blown glass (not industrially moulded), creates a product much more involved which does not annul the role and the work of the artisan. The intent of the project is to produce, starting from the same form, three lamps different for their characters and type of lighting.

Simplicity as the other project theme, incited the design of a blown diffuser in a single piece whose shape integrates and lodges the lamp-holder.
