Our journey to Italy began with serving private clients, creating lighting and fixtures for prestigious fashion houses.
Having completed a decade of our journey, we recognized the significance of unveiling the narrative behind the art of craftsmanship and the icons that inspired our work.

Every year, we make it a point to spend our summers alongside our artisans in Tuscany. This year, we decided to capture these moments in photographs for the very first time.
These connections have always held a special place for us, something we’ve kept guarded and shielded, hesitant to reveal. Yet, they are profoundly cherished and cultivated. Now, they’ve transformed into an integral part of our extended family.

How a day trip to Venice, Italy, turned into a sconce
and then our most iconic collection.

During a night walk we found ourselves down a moody Venice alley that opened up to a jewel box designed by Carlo Scarpa.
The Olivetti Showroom. Located in Venice, Italy, on the northern edge of Piazza San Marco.
A recognized historical building, where Scarpa’s design has become a museum for itself. When Scarpa was commissioned by Adriano Olivetti in 1957, it was understood that this showroom would be a space designed to show the products, not only of giving prestige to the famous brand, but also of create a dialogue between Scarpa’s talent as an architect.
CARLO
SCARPA
Architect: Carlo Scarpa.
Building: The Olivetti Showroom.
Year: 1957-1958.

Rooted in a sensuous material imagination, the motifs captured us through their rhythmic use of overlapping materials and shapes.
That night we sketched our iconic clip sconce, the Ponti. Alabaster and brass because the material closest to Scarpa.

ENTRY 2.
How the floor of our stone yard in Northern Italy,
filled with alabaster remnants, brought us to Louise Nevelson.
Louise Nevelson, a leading sculptor of the twentieth century, pioneered site-specific and installation art with her monochromatic wood sculptures.
Nevelson's assemblages transcended space and transformed the viewer's perception of art.
She emerged in the art world amidst the dominance of the Abstract Expressionist movement. In her most iconic works, she gathered urban debris to create her assemblages - a process clearly influenced by the precedent of Marcel Duchamp's found object sculptures of the time. Nevelson carefully arranged the found wood in order to historicize the debris within a new, narrative context.
LOUISE
NEVELSON
Born: September 23, 1899, Pereiaslav, Ukraine
Died: April 17, 1988 (age 88 years), New York, NY
Periods: Modern art, Abstract expressionism, Cubism
Influenced by: Alexander Calder, Pablo Picasso, Hans Hofmann, Diego Rivera, Max Ernst, André Masson.
An interest in shadow and space materialized in her first sculptures, introducing a visual language that came to characterize much of her work from the mid 1950s onward.
“Shadow and everything else on Earth is actually moving. Movement - that's in color, that's in form, that's in almost everything. Shadow is fleeting. I arrest it and I give it a solid substance. ” - Louise Nevelson
