Equilibrio from Firmamento Milano

All these declinations use a white jacketed blown glass for the diffuser-lampshade, with a vaguely metaphysical shape reminiscent of De Chirico’s heads.

Torre dei Trampolini from LITHEA

Torre dei Trampolini is a high level design bookcase composed by four cubes which give the impression of being in a precarious balance while they are stable indeed. It was created from a single volume, cutting overlapping frames inside each other. The whole bookcase is made of stone: its monochromatic color gives to the piece a metaphysical appearance, making it look like an everlasting piece of the house.
