NEBULA – THE NEW COLLECTION SIGNED BY PATRIZIA VOLPATO – WINS THE CONTEST “LIT – LIGHT DESIGN AWARDS” 2024

The Nebula collection – disegned by Giovanni Luca Ferreri for Patrizia Volpato – is inspired by the Universe. Once lit, those suspensions and wall lamps create an outstanding optical effect of light and reflection that captures the eye, recreating the images from astronomical telescopes. Light and space are merged in a game of light and shade, giving a unique visual experience, transforming and elevating every space.
All of that is possible thanks to the texture of the glass itself, almost like silk. Moreover, the suspension ensures the perfect amount of light thanks to the set of light sources facing the ground, making it possible to have both the correct illumination of the room and the decorative effect at the same time, without the first affecting the latter.

Sustainability Approach

With this collection we decided to make something durable: glass is easy to maintain and has no issues whit the passing of time. Moreover, to reduce the waste that occurs especially for the smaller parts, we decided to 3D print them. This is the best way for us to have perfect components every time (our 3D metal printing machine has a precision of 100 micron), with almost zero waste since there is no need to carve out any excess. Additionally, those smaller components could be easily made again any time from now, elongating the life of the fixture without the need for overproduction.
