The elegance of blown glass finds a new dimension in the Jube collection, designed for Vistosi by the Favaretto&Partners studio. The studio has once again used its classic modus operandi to this collection: pertinence in the application of materials, precision of design, and the search for innovation in form and function. Among the various dimensions of glass elements, the two largest can be combined so as to configure a perfectly harmonious suspension, such that they appear to be united, a single soul. Jube is a prestigious, timeless collection that never goes out of fashion, thanks to its timeless, refined and elegant style. It is a style that unites the four types of lamps without distinction: suspension, wall, table, floor – all with a LED light source. Its combinations give life to unique pieces that are perfect to be placed in retro-style environments.

Glassmaking is an ancient art that tells of centuries-old knowledge, handed down from generation to generation by the love and passion of expert craftsmen who carefully hold a tradition of excellence. True icons of timeless beauty are born when know-how and craftsmanship meet design, to form a perfect synthesis of tradition and innovation. This is the case of the Giogali and Minigiogali collections designed by Angelo Mangiarotti in 1967 for Vistosi, the lighting brand that has brought glass to perfection. The Giogali lamp (Compasso d’Oro mention in 1969) introduced a new concept in the use of glass: a modular lighting system based on a single hand-crafted crystal element (a type of hook) that can be repeated indefinitely to give life to structures that appear like cascades of light. The hook is the basic module that constitutes the entire architecture of the Giogali system (name that derives from the Venetian “giongher”, or the strap used in the countryside to tie the cart to the yoke), Mangiarotti’s modern interpretation of the Venetian chandelier. Long-term research based on the innovation of traditional shapes generated the hook, which thus becomes the constructive element of the chandelier itself. The basic element can be hooked in a series to form crystal chains, which in turn can be combined to create unlimited formal designs, such as chandeliers of any size that become scenographic backdrop of rooms. Following a restyling of the product, Vistosi introduced the Giogali 3D version in 2005: a new type of hook in glass that allows it to be paired to rings in all four directions, so as to form a continuous mesh that allows great installation flexibility.

The Modulor collection is one of the latest additions to the Vistosi range: wall or ceiling lamps that create ever-changing compositions. For the architects Pio and Tito Toso, who designed the collection, Modulor was a real challenge: to offer the market a modular solution in blown glass to furnish and illuminate even large spaces, but at the same time to design a particular geometric shape that can also be used individually. Modulor, in fact, is a hexagon that can be fixed to the wall, left suspended or mounted together with other elements, creating different compositions. Several hexagons can be grouped together, like tortoise shells coming together to create an almost flat volume of light. Alternatively, the different elements can be connected via a triangular profile, reminiscent of a branch with berries. The integrated LED guarantees diffuse, uniform and glare-free lighting. The true peculiarity of Modulor is the reduced thickness of the glass: a result achieved thanks to the work and dedication of the master glassblowers of Vetreria Vistosi, who sought the right alchemy to blow inside the lamp and determine such a reduced depth. A detail that gives Modulor a modern character and that also makes the collection perfect for classic environments, thanks to its extreme linearity.

Tread, Vistosi’s collection of lamps with a vintage soul and industrial style, is enriched with a new diffuser for the suspended version, again designed by the creative duo Chiaramonte & Marin. If the previous diffuser was reminiscent of an old oil lamp, taking us back to the Sixties, the new one does not lose its vintage inspiration, but is transformed and changes style: the blown glass with its characteristic lateral grooves, from which the name of the collection itself derives (from the English word thread), disappears and makes way for a smooth glass, with a decidedly larger diameter and whose shape recalls that of a suction cup. A new solution that makes it possible to illuminate small living areas even with just one element, containing costs, but without giving up a precious glass and a design element, able to characterise and enhance the environment in which it is inserted. Whatever the colour of the glass, the colour of the light does not change because the base of the diffuser is open; the different shades only influence the intensity of the illumination, making it more or less warm.

Like a magnetic field surrounding the central lantern, almost 100 strips of upholstered banding are made to create each of these pendants. the bands are made of a super pliable material and simple beige cotton, the lantern is from white cotton, and the fixture suspends from a stainless steel stem finished in warm antique brass. The filtered light comes from a single bulb, casting a wonderful glow and soft, linear shadows. additional pipe available (pipe-101).
