I. The Atmosphere
The Aventine is less a lamp and more a illuminated sculpture. Drawing inspiration from the Cubist movement and the raw power of Italian Brutalist architecture, its presence dominates a room. The shade—a complex, faceted polyhedron—slices the light into dramatic, angular beams, casting a captivating interplay of geometric shadows across your walls. It is designed for spaces that require visual weight: a grand foyer, a moody executive office, or a gallery-style living room.
II. The Materiality
Constructed from heavy-gauge architectural alloy, the Aventine rejects the fragility of synthetics. Each faceted panel is precision-welded to create a seamless, monolithic form. The finish—available in a light-absorbing Matte Black or a reflective Antique Brass—is hand-applied, offering a texture that feels cool, solid, and substantial to the touch. This is not a stamped sheet-metal production; it is a rigid, engineered structure built to endure.
III. The Casalola Standard
Given the complex geometry of the shade, stability is paramount. The tapering obelisk base is internally weighted to ensure a low center of gravity, preventing tipping even in high-traffic zones. Before leaving our Rome studio, the internal wiring is stress-tested to ensure the metal casing remains cool and safe. The lamp ships in a custom-molded, high-density foam crate to protect the sharp geometric angles during transit, fully insured for your peace of mind.
