Catellani&Smith - Macchina della Luce gold mod C suspension lamp

Macchina della Luce emerged from the Luci d’Oro collection, and was also developed after reflecting on the colour of light: the golden light of the sun and fire; warm light, in which the concept of refraction began to take shape in Enzo Catellani’s mind and which he used later in other creations.

Enzo Catellani

Enzo Catellani was born in Zibello (Parma) in 1950 and began his experience in the world of light in the late 1970s, taking over a lamp store in the Bergamo area, which gave him the  prompt  to start designing his handcrafted lamps. His lamps are true sculptures of light, characterized by increasingly precious finishes. For his products he exploits elementary forms, readily available materials and intuitive creations. The best light sources and the cutting-edge technology that accompanies them blend with a design to Italian craftsmanship. "Put your soul into it. This is the basic rule I set in everything I do and have instilled in the people who work with me."
