Designed by Umberto Bellardi Ricci
From the first piece of bent metal, Umberto Bellardi Ricci experiments with shapes and reflections to capture and refract light as if it were coming from the curves of a spiral while the light source remains embedded in the initial fold.

Linked to the designer?s recent studies on the spiral of the golden ratio, Ancora deviates from pure geometry to become a wall mirror that brings a modern reinterpretation of sculptural light into domestic spaces.

Two furnishing elements of pure material. Two architectural blocks in perfect scale. The materiality of the concrete becomes the protagonist and is expressed through irregular surfaces that recall the raw wood with which the formwork is made ? the wooden formwork used in construction that holds within it the shape to be created by casting […]
Soft, enveloping shapes characterize this family of upholstered pieces. Julep is influenced by the 1950s Avant-Garde movement, drawing upon its simplicity and grandeur, refined by a contemporary, romantic, feminine allure. Star of the series is the sofa, whose generous rounded lines provided evolutionary DNA for the entire collection ? including an armchair, a chaise-longue and […]
