ANIMA

A slender, light, ephemeral and abstract sculpture, it is a weightless ideogram.
Absence and essence of light.
It’s the emotion of an indirect light with an aesthetic poised between Scandinavian and Japanese design, two apparently distant cultures but, actually, very close.
At the top, a thin metal open circle, almost a hook for fishermen of the soul.
It was born from Davide Groppi and Giorgio Rava’s reflection on 20th century art and on Fausto Melotti’s “thin sculptures”, metaphysic matter invading space with a light and musical rhythm.
Anima is a lamp to be used on the floor or on low furniture, to keep close to yourself or to be used to create depth. It is a lamp to be enjoyed for its essentiality and scenic power.

Anima has been selected by the ADI Permanent Design Observatory to be shown at the ADI Design Index 2022.
