Nava + Arosio Studio x Italamp Dalì Precioso Lighting
Paolo Nav and Luca Arosio, the young and talented duo – also my former classmates from NABA Milan – have designed numerous products for Italian companies such as Rubelli casa and Italamp. The Dalì pendants are thin glass panels hung over a delicate chrome half-ring.
The Spanish brand Precioso, whose collections are primarily a modern take on traditional style lighting, is most recognized for its extraordinary (and sometimes interactive) bespoke installations for hotels, restaurants and airports.
Ingo Maurer
Known for his eccentric lights, Ingo Maurer’s stand was a fresh sighting at the EuroLuce pavilion with the strong splashes of color and playful, peculiar designs.
ziesta
is a Polish brand whose pieces are sculptural art and furniture. Some say they are like the child of Anish Kapoor and Zaha Hadid, yet surprisingly quite affordable!
Arturo Alvarez Leria Series
Arturo Alvarez is a creator of emotional and poetic light. This particular series is made up of multiple wire “masks” which hang on barely visible wires about two feet from a wall and are lit up by a single, small spotlight. As the masks naturally twist in the air, the shadows created on the wall resemble a dance ensemble.
Wall&Decò Delove wallpaper by Maria Gomez Garcia
This is a nonwoven wallpaper mural which is made on demand to fit the size you need. The Italian brand has an extensive library of artist-made wallcoverings for damp areas such as showers and the Out System for exterior walls and facades.
Toiletpaper x Seletti
An exceptional collection of tableware and objects born out of the collaboration between Maurizio Cattelan and Pierapaolo Ferrari’s magazine and the Italian design company Seletti. Black humor dipped in pastel colors, Seletti Wears TOILETPAPER is an unusual and exceptional collection of plates, mugs, tablecloths, bowls, glasses, baking dishes, teapots, towels and objects like the soaps, tables, mirrors, cushions and umbrellas.
ANDlight Vine wall sconce and pendant
Designed, built and assembled in Vancouver, ANDlight proposes approachable products that are timeless in form and reliability, refine in aesthetics, with an astutely applied touch of playfulness.
