Arredoluce is back | Italian Design

Arredoluce is an iconic Italian brand collecting masterpieces of lighting design from 1943 to 1986. Founded by Angelo Lelii, the collection included works by Gio Ponti, Ettore Sottsass, Nanda Vigo, Achille e Piergiacomo Castiglioni, Vico Magistretti and Angelo Lelii himself.

Arredoluce will be back soon thanks to Penta Light, who bought the brand to make it shining again. Andrea Citterio, CEO of Gruppo Penta Light, announced that ARREDOLUCE Milano 1943, will be presented at Euroluce 2019 with the first 10 re-editions and that the collection will grow under the creative direction of Nicola Gallizia.
A new showroom will be opened in via San Damiano 2, Milano.

Alessandro Padoan + Alessandro Palmaghini, founders of Fragile design gallery, have done a great work for the re-discovering of the heritage of ARREDOLUCE from 2015, contributing with Anty Pansera, to the ultimate book “ARREDOLUCE Catalogo ragionato 1943 - 1987”, Silvana editoriale 2018.

Fem Vibes | Womens Day

I read an article about women rights that made me think so much. It was about the importance of growing up feminist kids, expecially if boys, and of marrying a feminist man that makes the difference. I've never fight for womens rights because I was lucky, I grew up in an egalitarian family. I didn't need to fight 'cause I tought it was normal. I think my father was a feminist, even if he didn't know. Now I know so many different women's stories, and I wish they can have a feminist family, too.

I wish no one had need to fight but could just BE FREE TO JUST BE.

DECEMBER | Get in the MOOD

December is the month of lights (lighting candles to celebrate Santa Lucia) and Christmas, my fave day.
We don't need anything to be well but the ones we love (ourselves to begin!).
Getting old, I become more intimist and these are four simple things that I'm doing right now and get me in the mood of december:

- an hot spiced cup like this Spiced Chamomile Ginger Hot Toddy from Life and Style (detailed recipe and tips here) + many other seasonal inspiring recipes every week.

- my fave 2018 calendar (free! inscribe yourself to the newsletter, download it here and print it) thanks to the talented Vera of Paulsvera

- reading (again) The Fairy tales and Stories of H.C.Andersen - the real ones! sometimes cruel but mindful.

- peeking through the Instagram accounts of institutional places all over the world to look at Christmas adobes and events - like famous department stores (here Les Galeries Lafayette and Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche in Paris)

A sparkling hug! L.

Merano Chair | by Alex Gufler for TON

The Merano Chair combines the bottom design made of solid wood with harmonic shapes of bent plywood in the seat and backrest. Thanks to the production technology used, it is remarkably light and does not contain any screws or metal pieces. Available with a upholstered seat, it creates a set together with the bar stool and the Merano armchair.
