Creative firm Gupica designs the Sipario lighting solution for Fiam Italia with a focus on theatrics. The light was showcased as the latest Salone del Mobile and was made with inspiration from the theater curtains and their movement. The lamp translates the fluid movement using sculptural fused glass materials. The Remo Brindisi house was designed by Nando Vigo for his friend Remo Brindisi.
Gunilla Zamboni, founder of Gupica noted, "The Remo Brindisi house has always been a great source of inspiration for me, a place to think and observe how glass behaves in relation to light, architecture and artworks. Nanda Vigo designed the museum working on the concept of perception through light and materials, creating a rarefied, infinite space and developing on the idea of the ‘chronotype,’ which was an important theme for her. Glass interacts with natural and artificial light in a very sensory way. This museum is the ideal scenario that inspired my design for Sipario."
