Quirky Heirloom Throw

This year we can expect to see a surge in vintage inspired decor, with handmade and antique furnishings, fabrics and accessories. Anthropologie is known for unique items within the vintage/ antique tone. I am drawn to the Quirky Heirloom Throw, especially in the neutral finish. Cotton is handknit into dozens of mismatched pinwheels. This cozy, a-bit-eccentric afghan feels homespun. ...

Novella Wallpaper

I have a profound love for the 1920's. From the glamour and fashion to the music, and most importantly- the decor, which is well known as the Art Deco and Art Nouveau era. This classic style is influenced by geometric designs and theatrical florals. It is only natural that I am highly attracted to the Novella Wallpaper (in Black) from the Art Decor Collection by Graham & Brown. This washab...

Select Missoni Home Rugs

I pretty much love each and every item in the Missoni Home collection. So rather than post the complete line I figure its a better idea to highlight my absolute favorites, starting with rugs. Each bold rug is made of 100% wool and wear exceedingly well in high-traffic areas.. Custom sizes are available. I will begin with the Esmeraldas Rug. I find the floral graphics very interesting, and a...

The dining table and cocktail table are available with white stained ash or an oiled walnut top. The end table top is reversible- available ...

Lumina Tiles

The allure from waves of iridescent color of the mother-of-pearl tiles mixes beautifully with the Thassos white marble in the Lumina tiles. Contrary to it's delicate mirror-like appearance, mother-of-pearl is highly resilient and very strong. This new addition is added to other thoughtful and tasteful collections of stone and tile mosaics by Studium in NYC. Visit Studium for more informat...

Nuvola SO2 Pendant Light

Posted By: admin on January 14, 2010 in Blurbs, Lighting, Pendant - Comments: 1 Comment »

I went to the Hospitality Design Show in Las Vegas a few years ago, and found myself literally staring into the ceiling of an incredible lighting booth for at least fifteen minutes-jaw dropped, eyes unblinking, trying to figure out how this amazing fixture was working. I was at the Studio Italia Design booth, staring incredulously at the Nuvola SO2 Pendant Light, by Denis Santachiara. The word ‘nuvola’ means cloud in Italian… which was exactly how the fixture looked and was mimicking. It is suspended, made of special fireproof fabric which looks soft like a cloud, internally lit. The best feature- an internal motor and two mechanical arms, smoothly undulating giving a life-like movement to the cloud. I cannot begin to describe what it feels like watching this in real life. I searched and searched for video of this exact fixture, and the closest I came was a video from a show by Denis Santachiara showing a much larger installation called The Grande Nuvola. The cloud on the left side of the screen moves most like the Nuvola SO2 Pendant Light.

Contact Studio Italia Design or YLighting for more information.
