Terzani Approaches Lighting From a New Angle with Untitled

Terzani Approaches Lighting From a New Angle with Untitled

February 28, 2008  |  Levent OZLER

Untitled SuspensionTerzani, a leading manufacturer of luxury Italian lighting, presents "Untitled," a uniquely geometric take on illumination. Designed by the celebrated Bruno Rainaldi, "Untitled" represents a junction of modern technology and retro references. By choosing the name "Untitled," Rainaldi plays on the impulse of modern artists to circumvent the suggestion of meaning that a title can create by leaving works "untitled." For Rainaldi, this design is a work of art.

The stainless steel components of "Untitled" are laser cut and enameled white on one side, then assembled via traditional hand welding to interlock vertically and horizontally, forming a series of perpendicular angles. The spiky profile mimics the crisp, cantilevered planes of modernist architecture or a futuristic urban landscape from a 1950s sci-fi comic. "Untitled" is available in both a suspension and as a wall sconce. It is part of Terzani's groundbreaking Light is a Queen collection, which introduces a fresh twist to traditional Italian craft traditions.

The Light is a Queen collection combines elements of traditional Italian craftsmanship, such as time-honored hand welding, with a modern aesthetic to create the ultimate fusion of traditional Florentine craft culture and sleek Italian design. According to Terzani, "light reigns supreme in our homes" because it is the bright centerpiece of our most valued spaces, with deep roots in a genealogical aristocracy.

Over the past 20 years, Terzani's roster of designers has grown to include some of the most celebrated names in the industry. The collection features new lighting fixtures and "sculpture-objects" created by internationally renowned designers including Jean-Francois Crochet, Bruno Rainaldi, Prospero Rasulo, and Giulio Iacchetti.
