Linfa
design Nicola Boccini
Light artists have been creating works of art and light installations for more than seventy years using industrially derived materials: light bulbs, neon, optical wires and lasers, which redesign space in the dark and change our perception. of reality.
For the first time, however, with Nicola Boccini, Light Art is linked to artisanal materials such as ceramics, the technique and tradition of his Umbria, to combine manual skill and originality with research and experimentation.
Thanks to this project, the ceramic animated by the light of Nicola Boccini creates a sink, a necessary element for the daily ritual of cleaning, a white porcelain cylinder wrapped in branches, which, like bas-reliefs, surround it. They are the roots of a tree, which draw lifeblood from light and water, a work of design that seems to organically integrate nature and technology.
Inside the room, the sink, with its vegetal veins, becomes a regenerative work, it reclaims the space, extends its luminous branches and envelops us. Despite our continuous actions of degradation, nature finds a way to be reborn, does not give up and gives us well-beingwith the light and beauty of the natural world.
