When Marco Dessí approached me with a design concept we have talked about a few years back I did not know what rollercoaster-ride this would become!
At the start if developed as a versatile modular concept that promised to be great fun to work at. The invitation to join the Advantage Austria presentation during Salone del Mobile in Milan really triggered Marco in a creative sprint! The project picked up momentum on its own and the restriction at the show, to present only one item helped very much to funnel our energy into 12-light prototype. So we managed to fine-tune all the key elements that we wanted this one piece to have. The single-light over-the-top luxury version with mercury gilding over hammer-stroke with hand-cut diffuser then was the thing we needed to vent off the residue inspiration.
