the contemporary reinterpretation of the classic chandelier
Barovier&Toso: PROFILO Suspension Lamp by NICHETTO®
The name itself evokes the precise contour the lamp draws in space, a silhouette that emerges as the essential synthesis of the whole. The structure is born from a rhythmic sequence of overlapping discs which, when viewed from a distance, form clean and recognizable silhouettes, spherical, conical, or suggestive of a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic chandelier. The configuration is built through the interplay of solid and void, presence and transparency, giving rise to a form defined by subtraction. The glass elements, crafted using the traditional Murano technique of centrifuga, are characterized by substantial thickness, tactile vibration, and subtle organic variations. A delicate opal spiral runs across the surface, guiding the diffusion of light, modulating its intensity and creating a soft, measured effect. At the center, the lighting technology integrates discreetly, allowing the glass to remain the protagonist in defining the atmosphere. Light spreads between the planes, filtered and reflected, generating a layered and dynamic perception. The result is a finely calibrated visual equilibrium in constant dialogue with the surrounding space. Available in multiple configurations, Profilo maintains coherence and purity of form in every expression. Geometry thus becomes a recognizable language, capable of adapting to any space while preserving its distinctive formal identity.
