Iconic designer Marcel Wanders designs the dynamic Dame lighting collection for FENDI Casa, marking his first capsule made for the brand. The brand's fashion archives are seen referenced through the lighting, which includes a ceiling light, table lighting, floor lamp, and more to decorate the home. It is designed with inspiration drawn from Italian art, culture, craftsmanship, and heritage.
The entire range is made from locally sourced Murano glass to create contemporary designs. It is juxtaposed with the traditional Murano glass-blowing technique with additional details including the hand-etched lines that are made from the classic Filigrana technique. The arches of all the lighting designs also nod to the FENDI headquarters along the Palazzo Della Civiltà
