01 / 06The meaning

A colour that never left us.

I took this photograph from the back of a dromedary, in the Moroccan desert. Ahead of us, our guide. On him, that blue.

A blue so saturated it seemed impossible amid all that sand. Yet it has been there for centuries: the blue of the Tuareg, the same that Jacques Majorelle brought to his garden in Marrakech.

That colour never left us again.

02 / 06Turn it on

Turn it on with a gesture.

The lamp comes with a small rotary remote. We call it the Pigino. Turn it on and watch the reflections of the Colle di Val d'Elsa crystals dance across the wall.

03 / 06A marble sculpture

A marble sculpture.

Carved from a block of Calacatta Oro, or Royal Black marble for the dark version, the base is sculpted in Massa-Carrara with the precision of a sculpture, and holds within it all the electronics that usually live in an external box.

Hidden in that same marble, a small cylinder engraved with a unique number: it is Il Pezzo Mancante (the missing piece). Whoever removes it takes a fragment of the lamp with them, and becomes its keeper.

04 / 06Anatomy

Anatomy of a balance.

Marble, brass and crystal, and nothing else in sight. The technology (driver, dimmer and LEDs) is hidden in the base, so that only a pure form remains in the room.

  1. 01

    Marble base

    Calacatta Oro or Royal Black, sculpted in Massa-Carrara and polished until it feels soft and pleasant to the touch. A monolith hollowed out almost entirely, to house driver and smart dimmer inside with nothing left in sight.

  2. 02

    Three solid crystals

    The Crystal Masters of Colle di Val d'Elsa make them with an exclusive technology. The soft form conceals a sophisticated anchoring and electrification system that ensures its stability. Beyond its refractions, the solid crystal needs no maintenance: a damp cloth is enough to clean it.

  3. 03

    Smart dimmer

    Switching on and off and adjusting the intensity happen through a small rotary remote, the Pigino. And it is smart: compatible with Tuya, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Smart Life.

  4. 04

    Brass ring

    The brass structure is hot-curved by hand, an elliptical form that lives in balance on the monolithic base and carries the crystals in an endless rotation.

    LED 2700 K · CRI > 95

    To achieve substantial lighting without ever dazzling, we hid six LEDs inside the crystals. Total output is around 1,800 lumens, the colour rendering index is above 95 (it renders the exact colour quality of whatever it lights) and the temperature is 2700 K: a warm, enveloping light that fills the room and creates a pleasant atmosphere.

  2. 06

    Il Pezzo Mancante

    A brass cylinder engraved with a unique number, hidden in the marble. It is the fragment that holds the soul of every creation: a seal that turns the object into memory, a passage between those who made it and those who will live with it.

Frequently asked.

What is it made of?
Marble (Calacatta Oro or Royal Black) sculpted in Massa-Carrara, brass hand-curved in Florence and solid crystal from Colle di Val d'Elsa.
Where is it made?
Entirely in Tuscany: the marble in Massa-Carrara, the crystal in Colle di Val d'Elsa, the brass bent by hand, and every piece assembled, numbered and finished in our Florence atelier.
What kind of light does it give?
A warm light (2700 K) of 1,800 lumens: intense but never dazzling. Passing through the solid crystal, it creates beautiful reflections on the walls for an enveloping atmosphere; dimmed, it becomes extremely romantic.
How is it switched on and adjusted?
With a small rotary remote, the “Pigino”: one gesture to switch on and to set the intensity.
Can it be controlled by home automation?
Yes. It has built-in Wi-Fi and is controlled from the Tuya or Smart Life app, also remotely, with schedules and Alexa and Google Home voice commands. The Pigino remote comes as standard.

How big is it?
H 185 cm (72.8″), base ø 18 cm (7″), 21 kg (46 lb).
Is it a numbered piece?
Yes. Hidden in the marble is a brass cylinder engraved with a unique number: it is “Il Pezzo Mancante”, the signature that makes every creation unrepeatable.
