Massimo Iosa Ghini: I use my sensitivity with references to Alberti’s De Re Aedificatoria (written in 1450), where he always recommends staying in the place of construction to breathe the air and spirit of the place and not suppress the emotions and suggestions that can derive from it.

Characteristics
The Sirenuse pendant light is inspired by fishing nets and other traditional fishing equipments known in Italy as "nassa". Its appearance resembles that of a floating sculpture and, with its extremely delicate nature and light weight, Sirenuse evokes the images of the fishing nets thrown into the sea. In addition to this, the ceramic net around the light bulb, refracts its light creating extremely suggestive shadows and patterns in the room. The Sirenuse pendant light is built through a very complex and slow process which allows the ceramic coils to shrink and move independently. For this reason, each piece will be unique.
