Luca Nichetto : Plass

Le studio de design de Luca Nichetto nous fait aujourd'hui découvrir "Plass", un luminaire en polycarbonate rotomoulé dessiné pour Foscarini. Le designer vénitien nous dévoile son projet de ses prémisses à sa production en nous

 présentant croquis de recherche, photos d'inspiration, moules et prototypes.































Sur ce projet, Luca Nichetto précise:

"Plass – a name bringing "plastic" and "glass" together – interprets the artisan tradition of glass by means of a contemporary material and process: rotational-moulded transparent polycarbonate. Thanks to this technology, which is used for the first time on such a large scale in the lighting industry, the finishes are characterized by slight irregularities, highlighted by the light source, like in handmade glass. Therefore, Plass represents a common thread binding the origins of the designer, who was born on the island of Murano, to his vocation for innovation and experimentation with new materials."
