Showing results for "modular"

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.

The inspiration behind Plot Frame is to render the motion and simplicity of a sphere. A metal weave where luminescent glass spheres are almost free to move, allowing the user to interact with the object. Matt black frame. LED light source.

Soft curves and a smooth surface meet blown glass in an extremely simple model, suitable for any furnishing context.

The Medea collection stands out for its geometric and simple shapes. The LED source illuminates the top and at the same time the glass, bringing a part of light with soft hues to the ceiling. Presented in a group or individually, they show a strong stylistic character almost becoming sculptures.

Faro consists of two glasses harmoniously connected by a metal ring. The first glass, with a transparent colored finish, appears to be connected to the second white glass that hides the LED source. The light is diffused, uniform and non-dazzling.

Rina is inspired by the dandelion, of which it recalls the pappus, thanks to the light texture of the surface, made with the traditional technique of murrine. It is in different sizes that can be combined in a wide range of installations.

The LED source illuminates the white shaded glass of the pendant and ceiling lamp versions. Neutral tones and simple, elegant lines allow it to be contextualized in environments of different styles. Metal finishes in matt white and matt black nickel. New pendant and ceiling versions now.

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.
