Decorative objects inspired by the unexpected equilibrium of central America's Modernist architecture
Streamers transfer into their design all the fascinations brought back from a trip around Mexico: the volumes and grace over the unexpected yet solid equilibrium of Central American's Modernist architecture.
The candle holder consists of a series of geometrical objects combined in different variations or fixed combinations.
Candles stand still like playing with the balance with the multi-shaped holders, never centered over their base where brass, silver, marble and stones create a dialogue between materials.
Luca’s childhood memory of his grandmother polishing the brass doorknobs of her traditional Venetian house and the realization the engraved areas remained darker due to oxidation inspired Timeline (2011). The brass bowl that plays on the same principle, features grooves that get darker with the time. Each bowl is uniquely refinished by oxidation, creating a striking dialogue between light and darkness and giving Timeline an antique feel.
