De Castelli - Ribot floor lamp

A flowing, sensible presence, delicately balanced. A sculptural object composed of a hand-hammered brass diffuser, metal that still seems to radiate the energy of the tool that shaped it. Light, originating from a LED source, is reflected as if it were liquid. Each reflection evokes the movement of water while the entire composition seems to vibrate brightly in space.

Alessandro Mason

Alessandro Mason was born in 1983 in Treviso into a family of artisans; during his studies in architecture at the Politecnico di Milano, he followed a personal quest in art, which still continues today in his workshop in Treviso. Alessandro made his first machines in 2005, with pneumatic, electric and mechanical movements. Several experiences related to 'sculpture lead him to investigate the theme of mechanism and movement in a poetic key. His creations want to bring the gaze closer to nature: they are fragile and light as living beings. His research continues between the studio in Milan and the workshop in Treviso, also thanks to his teaching activities at Domus Academy, and NABA (New Academy of Fine Arts) in Milan. Among others he has worked for / collaborated with : Antony Gormley, Sou Fujimoto, Aldo Cibic, Marco Ferreri, Beppe Finessi, Joseph Grima.

De Castelli

De Castelli has made metal its language and has managed over time to build a wide range of furnishing accessories, lighting points but above all metal upholstery. Creations that at first glance could be unrelated to each other, and that instead are brought together by the presence of metal, a noble and elegant material taking on the most varied forms. De Castelli was founded in 2003, but its foundation is based on the experience of four generations of ironworking masters. It overcomes the classical conception of metal, understood as a "cold" material and relegated to the margins of design, and begins to produce objects in series, but at the same time unique, as the result of a cultural path that is renewed each time in an unrepeatable way. The continuous rise of De Castelli is witnessed by the many partnerships that the Italian company has established with the most renowned brands on the international scene. This was the collaboration with Maserati at the 89th Geneva Motor show, for which De Castelli lined the interior panels of the Quattroporte SQ4 Granlusso. For De Castelli, metal plays a dual role. Furnishing, first of all, but at the same time interprets the architecture, the styles, the new trends.
