He is considered to be an important figure in the history of Italian design and is remembered for his contributions to the field of lighting design. Arredoluce was a pioneering company in the world of Italian lighting design during the 1950s and 1960s. Founded by Angelo Lelii, Arredoluce was based in Monza and known for its skilled craftsmen who could bring the most cutting-edge lighting designs to life, of which this chandelier is a prime example. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis design features six gracefully curved leaves that curl toward the ceiling, enveloping the lightbulbs. The hammered and perforated brass material adds a lively texture and greatly enhances the lamp's visual effect. Each leaf culminates in a stem, converging at the center. A distinctive characteristic of this design is the flexibility of the leaves, allowing them to be adjusted and arranged according to one's personal preference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaolo Angelo Lelii (1911-1979) was born in Ancona, Italy. After his studies at the Superior Institute of Industrial Art, Milan, he lived and worked in Monza. From 1943, Lelii started manufacturing lamps in his own house and in 1946 he advertised his well-known 'Tris' lamp in Domus magazine. It was in 1947 that he founded Arredoluce in Monza, a premier manufacturer of furniture and lighting. In the same year, he exhibited the lamp 12128 at the VII Triennale di Milano, which became known as the Triennale floor lamp. He became an influential designer in Postwar Italy, especially in the field of modern lighting design. During the 1950s, Arredoluce started to collaborate with designers such as Franco Albini, Achille Castiglioni, Gio Ponti, and Ettore Sottsass and also began to experiment with halogen light bulbs for his designs, which lead to the recognizable Arredoluce switch. Thanks to Angelo Lelii’s unique approach to design, Arredoluce quickly built a reputation for creating premium quality products based on clean, simple, and functional designs.

Maxalto was originally set up in 1975 as a high-end division of B\u0026amp;B Italia to focus exclusively on the production of artisanal, mostly wood furniture.

Afra Bianchin was born in 1937 in Montebelluna while Tobia Scarpa, son of the architect Carlo Scarpa, was born in 1935 in Venice. The couple met when they were both studying at the Venice Institute of Architecture and married afterwards. From 1957 until 1961, Tobia worked as a glass designer at the Murano glassworks of Venini. However, in 1960, the duo started to collaborate, and they set up one of the most successful and well-known professional studios. Together, they worked for companies such as Flos Gavina, B\u0026amp;B Italia, and Knoll. The couple won numerous amounts of awards like the Compasso d’Oro and the International Forum Design. Throughout their career, the duo carried out commissions for well-known companies, including Benetton. Overall, their designs are known for their modernist aesthetic, prioritizing elegance and comfort. However, at the same time, their pieces are admired for the ease with which they lean towards classical designs. Moreover, the creations show their deep understanding for materials. Today, many of their works can be found in major museums such as Museum of Mod­ern Art of New York, Musée du Lou­vre, National Museum of Design New York and many more.","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54502340559191,"sku":null,"price":39500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50119245_St_P_8.jpg?v=1787346679"},{"product_id":"joe-colombo-for-zanotta-pair-of-birillo-swivel-bar-stools-in-stainless-steel","title":"Joe Colombo for Zanotta Pair of 'Birillo' Swivel Bar Stools in Stainless Steel","description":"Joe Colombo for Zanotta, pair of 'Birillo' bar stools, stainless steel, leather, plastic, Italy, design 1970 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned by Joe Colombo for Zanotta in 1970, the Birillo bar stools have a striking geometric form typical of Colombo’s futuristic approach.

The material has the transparent quality of glass, while at the same time being less fragile and therefore less dangerous in use.

Aligned with his theoretical pursuits, he valued both the design of individual objects and architecture equally. His approach centers on perceiving liturgy as a transformative process, elevating ordinary actions to a sacred realm. With its restrained character and ascetic formal language, the furniture and liturgical items seamlessly integrate into the comprehensive design of the buildings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the 1940s, van der Laan has been meticulously crafting liturgical objects for churches, consistently adhering to the principles of the plastic number. Each piece of furniture is not only intricately sketched and designed but is also assigned a specific place within the interior. The furniture is crafted based on a foundational system first implemented by him in Vaals in the onset of the 1960s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach furniture piece is centered around a common U-profile, extending in various directions. A cabinet adopts a horizontal U-profile, extending upward, while benches, tables and stools feature a vertical U-profile elongated lengthwise. Other tables and chairs consist of extruded compositions of U-profiles. The outer edges of the foundation exhibit straight corners, whereas the inner edges are added with beveled contours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the furniture is constructed from wooden planks, primarily pine, fastened using hinge nails thoughtfully placed following the 'extrusion' pattern. When viewed from the side, the ending of the planks and the foundational wood to which they are affixed are both visible. The furniture is predominantly painted in an array of earthy tones like brown and grey, with the occasional use of maroon and blue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiography\u003cbr\u003eIn 1904, Hans van der Laan was born into a family of architects in Leiden. His father and brothers, Jan and Nico, were also architects. Between 1923 and 1926, he pursued his architectural studies in Delft under the guidance of M.J. Granpré Molière (1883-1972), a leading figure among Dutch Catholic architects of that era. However, van der Laan discontinued his work in Delft within a few years, dissatisfied with the lack of fulfillment in his quest for the 'essence of architecture.'. In 1926, he sought a deeper spiritual connection and chose to become a monk at St. Paul's Abbey in Oosterhout. In 1934, he was ordained as a priest and became increasingly immersed in the realms of liturgical design and architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the Second World War came to an end, Hans van der Laan, accompanied by his brother Nico, was enlisted to lead and guide the reconstruction in Catholic architecture. In 's-Hertogenbosch, he directed the Ecclesiastical Architecture course, specifically dedicated to the construction of churches. This initiative laid the foundation for the 'Bossche School,' where van der Laan played a crucial role as the primary architect and theoretician. Under his leadership, the primary focus was placed on the fundamental essence of all architecture: Well-proportioned and human-scale dimensions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the realm of 20th-century architectural history, the monk-architect held a distinctive position. Amidst the conflict between traditionalists and modernists in The Netherlands, van der Laan formulated his unique perspectives and formal language. His buildings and writings alike reflect a dedicated exploration of the laws of architecture and the connection between humanity and nature. The legacy left by the architect comprises a modest yet significant collection, encompassing seven buildings, including several monasteries, a chapel, and a church library.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a theorist, van der Laan dedicated a significant portion of his life to contemplating form, proportion, and the human experience within architectural spaces. His focus centered on exploring the essence of architecture, leading him to formulate a comprehensive theory involving space, shape, and size. Central to his ideas was the plastic number, a three-dimensional extension of the golden ratio. This numerical concept sheds light on the proportional relationship between the thickness, length, and width of architectural elements. Apart from architectural creations, van der Laan applied the principles of the plastic number to design liturgical items, notebooks, uniforms, and furniture, resulting in a subtly impactful body of work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDom Hans van der Laan, a Dutch Benedictine monk and architect, played a pivotal role as a key figure in the Bossche School. Renowned for his influential theories on numerical proportions in architecture, his ideas continue to be explored and shared.

The two met while studying at the Venice Institute of Architecture and later married. Tobia initially worked as a glass designer at the Murano glassworks of Venini from 1957 to 1961. However, in 1960, the pair began collaborating professionally and went on to establish one of the most successful design studios of their time. Their collaborations included work for prestigious companies such as Flos, Gavina, B\u0026amp;B Italia, and Knoll. Throughout their career, the couple received numerous accolades, including the Compasso d’Oro and recognition from the International Forum Design. They also took on high-profile commissions for companies like Benetton. Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s designs are admired for their modernist aesthetic, which blends elegance with comfort. At the same time, their work is known for its subtle nods to classical design and their deep understanding of materials. Today, many of their iconic creations are housed in major museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Musée du Louvre, and the National Museum of Design in New York.

Aligned with his theoretical pursuits, he valued both the design of individual objects and architecture equally. His approach centers on perceiving liturgy as a transformative process, elevating ordinary actions to a sacred realm. With its restrained character and ascetic formal language, the furniture and liturgical items seamlessly integrate into the comprehensive design of the buildings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the 1940s, van der Laan has been meticulously crafting liturgical objects for churches, consistently adhering to the principles of the plastic number. Each piece of furniture is not only intricately sketched and designed but is also assigned a specific place within the interior. The furniture is crafted based on a foundational system first implemented by him in Vaals in the onset of the 1960s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach furniture piece is centered around a common U-profile, extending in various directions. A cabinet adopts a horizontal U-profile, extending upward, while benches, tables and stools feature a vertical U-profile elongated lengthwise. Other tables , benches, and chairs consist of extruded compositions of U-profiles. The outer edges of the foundation exhibit straight corners, whereas the inner edges are added with beveled contours. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the furniture is constructed from wooden planks, primarily pine, fastened using hinge nails thoughtfully placed following the 'extrusion' pattern. When viewed from the side, the ending of the planks and the foundational wood to which they are affixed are both visible. The furniture is predominantly painted in an array of earthy tones like brown and grey, with the occasional use of maroon and blue. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1904, Hans van der Laan was born into a family of architects in Leiden. His father and brothers, Jan and Nico, were also architects. Between 1923 and 1926, he pursued his architectural studies in Delft under the guidance of M.J. Granpré Molière (1883-1972), a leading figure among Dutch Catholic architects of that era. However, van der Laan discontinued his work in Delft within a few years, dissatisfied with the lack of fulfillment in his quest for the 'essence of architecture.'. In 1926, he sought a deeper spiritual connection and chose to become a monk at St. Paul's Abbey in Oosterhout. In 1934, he was ordained as a priest and became increasingly immersed in the realms of liturgical design and architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the Second World War came to an end, Hans van der Laan, accompanied by his brother Nico, was enlisted to lead and guide the reconstruction in Catholic architecture. In 's-Hertogenbosch, he directed the Ecclesiastical Architecture course, specifically dedicated to the construction of churches. This initiative laid the foundation for the 'Bossche School,' where van der Laan played a crucial role as the primary architect and theoretician. Under his leadership, the primary focus was placed on the fundamental essence of all architecture: Well-proportioned and human-scale dimensions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the realm of 20th-century architectural history, the monk-architect held a distinctive position. Amidst the conflict between traditionalists and modernists in The Netherlands, van der Laan formulated his unique perspectives and formal language. His buildings and writings alike reflect a dedicated exploration of the laws of architecture and the connection between humanity and nature. The legacy left by the architect comprises a modest yet significant collection, encompassing seven buildings, including several monasteries, a chapel, and a church library. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a theorist, van der Laan dedicated a significant portion of his life to contemplating form, proportion, and the human experience within architectural spaces. His focus centered on exploring the essence of architecture, leading him to formulate a comprehensive theory involving space, shape, and size. Central to his ideas was the plastic number, a three-dimensional extension of the golden ratio. This numerical concept sheds light on the proportional relationship between the thickness, length, and width of architectural elements. Apart from architectural creations, van der Laan applied the principles of the plastic number to design liturgical items, notebooks, uniforms, and furniture, resulting in a subtly impactful body of work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDom Hans van der Laan, a Dutch Benedictine monk and architect, played a pivotal role as a key figure in the Bossche School. Renowned for his influential theories on numerical proportions in architecture, his ideas continue to be explored and shared. On August 19, 1991, Hans van der Laan passed away at the St. Benedictusberg Abbey near Vaals.","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54804834910551,"sku":null,"price":20000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/45009706_St_P_15.jpg?v=1787929034"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.morentz.com\/en-gb\/collections\/recently-added.oembed?page=3","provider":"Morentz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
