That is the approach <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staffedit.it\/en\/tag\/catellani-smith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catellani &amp; Smith<\/a><\/strong> has taken from the very beginning, way back in 1989. The company gives a voice and a spirit to its creations, transforming them into objects that can \u201cspeak\u201d and interact with their users and environments.<\/p>\n<p>Catellani &amp; Smith\u2019s lamps are born in their workshop-laboratory along the banks of the Serio river (Lombardy, Italy), where parts, technological components, and materials like brass, aluminium, fibreglass and industrial glass are collected, becoming a source of inspiration and fertile ground for constant experimentation. Production uses <strong>exclusively artisanal methods<\/strong>, which represent the cornerstone of the brand\u2019s values and identity: a virtuous business model that supports the beauty and quality of \u201chandmade\u201d things.<\/p>\n<p>A beauty made all the more precious by its <strong>uniqueness<\/strong>. Thanks to that very craftsmanship, a process that eschews any industrial moulds, each lamp is one of a kind \u2013 shaped by the hands of an artist, with all the \u201cimperfections\u201d that go with it. Unique pieces to be handled with care, with specific and meticulous operations that require particular dedication. Suffice it to consider the numerous production models that are decorated with gold, copper, or silver leaf, for example the sculptural Macchina della Luce, or the distinctive \u201cfoam\u201d composition inside the Stchu-Moon collection, or the many hand-painted lamps like Sorry Giotto and the clever interweaving of aluminium wire in the iconic Fil de Fer. \u201cAttention\u201d is the keyword that describes the approach taken during all phases of the lamp\u2019s construction, right up until the moment when the Catellani &amp; Smith stamp is applied to its finished packaging.<\/p>\n<p>The soul of Catellani &amp; Smith lamps is the fruit of the passion and dedication of a company made up of people, with values linked to tradition alongside technology, looking to the future without compromising its identity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catellani &amp; Smith\u2019s lamps are born in their workshop-laboratory along the banks of the Serio river &nbsp; An object is by definition inanimate.
