Fabbian’s proposals combine stylistic citations from other epochs, material mixes and architectures of light, offering a wide range of expressive possibilities: from the classic ones surviving the passage of time and the succession of trends to the most recent and contemporary ones. Aesthetics in lighting design has developed over time in terms of materials and their combinations, which define different perceptions of light itself and unexpected decorative effects in relation to the architectural space.
Thus, glass harnessed by metal structures is the principle of collections such as Armilla, by Lorenzo Truant, whose polished white glass diffuser is held in an almost random manner by a few thin metal circles (chrome-plated, gold-plated or burnished) imprisoned by the molten glass at the end of the process. A contemporary Renaissance representation of the motion of the planets and stars.
The Saya family by Giò Minelli and Marco Fossati is composed of three models in different sizes and shapes that can be combined in elegant compositions perfect for venues such as bars and restaurants In this collection, the glass is blown within a structure of dense metal wires that are regularly arranged 360° around the light source. The homogeneous and diffuse light, rather than being interrupted by the graphic signs of the metal, is nevertheless a scenic protagonist.
Bernhardt & Vella’s Amulette Art, in a pendant or wall lamp version, synthesises Art Deco taste in a contemporary key, experimenting with the effects that an LED light produces when it passes through a sheet of thick cast crystal with hammered edges, held by a geometric metal element.
Following a path of absolute originality, Alessandro Di Prisco instead conceived, in 2022, a system particularly suited to minimal interiors, which enjoy large volumes, often developed in height. And it is precisely in these volumes that Dome‘s modular and infinitely combinable elements can describe metal architectures based on the shape of the arch and the vault. In fact, each luminous body consists of a cylinder/lamp, with a high-efficiency LED source, and a 1-metre-long arch that connects to the next cylinder and suggests the existence of a construction within a larger container, through a light aerial structure that is complementary to the functions and scenography below.
