storytelling

Partial furnishing of the living room of an apartment located on the second floor of a condominium in a city in northern Apulia, southern Italy. The project allowed complete freedom in the choice of furniture, while respecting a defined budget. My intention was to create a light source that did not come from the ceiling, the walls, or the floor, but rather something that appeared to float in space. The lamp that best embodies this idea, in my view, is the one designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. Its form evokes a suspended arch, a bridge of light that originates from the weight of the stone base and extends into space with the natural trajectory of a curve. The marble block acts as an anchor, the metal arc becomes a taut line that draws in the air, and the diffuser behaves like a small domestic sun. It is a balance between gravity and lightness, where function becomes form and form becomes architecture. To complete the setting, a smoked‑glass and steel table is paired with four Cesca chairs, creating a harmonious composition that resonates with the design language of the 1960s and 1970s.
