Barometro Lamps is the first collection signed by young Tuscan designer Giacomo Ravagli exclusively for Edizioni Nilufar in the occasion of Milano Design Week 2011 – with a special preview at PAD Paris 2011.

Barometro Lamps is a family of table and floor lamps composed by a rare Italian marble base – as the Rosso Levanto – Giacomo Ravagli has chosen for its beauty, the marvel of the tones as well as the rarefaction of its quarrying.

The lampshades are formed by sophisticated, unexpected twisted and cut lamina of noble and unstable metals as copper, at which the designer assigns, time by time, a controlled ageing grade or that he presents in its natural beauty.

Giacomo Ravagli, 29 years old born in Tuscany, started to make sculpture when he was 18: he didn’t apply for a fine art academy or for a sculpture MA but searched for a long apprenticeship in the best artisanal marble workshops located in Pietrasanta (Lucca, Tuscany), the heart of marble quarries and industry in the world together with the other Tuscan city, Carrara.
