Catellani & Smith

May 16, 2019

Petits Bijoux by Catellani & Smith is a representation of “static movement,” the effect of an action that seems to imitate the gesture of throwing a stone into a pool of water, creating concentric waves that propagate into space. The concept of a sphere, the circle as a metaphor for the infinite and perfection, has been favorite, recurring theme during Catellani & Smith’s 30 years of lamp production, and makes it return in this new pendant lamp, a lamp that is remarkably simple in its design but extraordinary in its workmanship.

The collection consists of three models, Petits Bijoux 28, 32 and 56, all made up of a series of circles, some small, some large, held together by thin cables, which follow each other in succession to create a sphere (120 cm on the 56 model and 75 cm on the 28 model) or – in the case of the 32 model – a delicate, almost deconstructed half-sphere of 120 cm.
