An “itinerary” of luminous works, a tribute to the Earth which, “if on the one hand it refers to the description of the sky and the cosmos, on the other it refers to one's own internal geography", as Italo Calvino wrote.

The project was born from the will of Alice and Valentina on an extended reflection between the physical and the interior space. Trying to see beyond what is before our eyes to open the way to a more intimate vision. 

The planets of the Spaziando collection The planets are conceived as an emotional engine and the work of art as a space of the soul. 

There are many hidden details contained in this collection of artistic design. 

Time is undoubtedly the revealing element, which delicately insinuates itself into our emotions until it touches its most intimate part.

It is the first project of the collaboration between the artist and the architect, which aims, with a green soul, to solicit gratitude from the ether. 

The collection takes its name from the desire for freedom of use and livability of the artistic object.

The planets are wireless lighting fixtures, which is why they can be placed in the places that we feel most attractive at that moment, they can be placed on a wall or simply placed on the ground in a corner next to a sofa.

In collaboration with LUCE 5 srl (an Ecovadis certified company, one of the main corporate sustainability assessment platforms), a customlighting project was created, which allows us to enjoy the luminous work wherever we feel the desire to connect with it and " space”, since its power supply is entirely battery-powered.

With two types of light, a backlight that radiates the silhouette in silhouettes and a narrow beam of frontal lighting that by grazing the surface highlights its peculiarities, highlighting the oxidations, the chromatisms and all the materiality of the artistic surface.  

In the project of the planets, thanks to the collaboration with the OLTREMATERIAcompany, the purification of the surrounding air has been included; in fact, the surface has been treated with the innovative "ecopur" technology which ionizes and purifies the air, creating a physical barrier to prevent the proliferation of bacteria and viruses. Without consuming energy, Planets ionize space as a beautiful plant would.

The satellite made of curved glass and silvery baked mirror decoration represents the access door to the work. Vibrated reflection is the desire to go beyond what we see, not a clear and descriptive reflection, but an expedient that allows us to "slow down" the flow of observation time. The surface of the planet was interpreted by the artist Alice Corbetta, using a lime and cement-based stucco to create a three-dimensional effect with footprints and a coating of ferrous dust. The oxidations and manufacturing treatments took place with natural products.
