New outdoor collection
by Catellani & Smith
Enzo Catellani has designed his first collection of
outdoor lights for Catellani & Smith in response
to the trend that, over the years, has seen living
spaces move outside into terraces and gardens,
creating extensions of the house.
Enzo Catellani’s main goal was to create a
collection of indoor lamps suitable for outdoor
installation; lighting fixtures created for the
outside, but able to recreate the same warmth and
atmosphere as indoor lights.
Glass plays a starring role in this collection; glass
which, before being completely cooled, is shaped
by hand.
As occurs with the processing of all Catellani &
Smith lamps, aesthetics and craftsmanship are
combined with the latest technology for outdoor
lighting.
The most striking piece in the collection is
Medousê, a light made of two overlapping glass
hemispheres, which is green when switched off, to
complement the surrounding landscape perfectly,
and an ethereal white when switched on.
Also made of glass, the composition of irregular
shapes of More, which is supported by stems in
green-gold colour, seems to magically emerge
from the ground like a luminous hedge.
More moves and sways with each gust of wind
and becomes the fruits of a tree in the unique
piece ‘Albero della Luce’, created by Enzo Catellani
in 2005, whose copper trunk, in several colour
shades, takes us back to a magical nature of the
past.
