Inspired by rocket launch pads, the work consists of three imposing steel tubes of different heights and inclinations. The sharp oblique cuts at the top are not just a geometric choice; they act as "nozzles" from which light breaks forth, evoking the propulsive energy about to lift off from the ground.

light engineering: the "halo" effect
the true heart of artigli lies in its luminous interactivity. Each cylinder features an adjustable 5w recessed led spotlight. As shown in image _f1a8165 (1) (1).jpg, this feature allows the collector to shape the light, projecting vibrant elliptical halos and soft gradients directly onto the internal surfaces of the tubes. This interplay of reflections transforms the steel into a living, dynamic, and theatrical surface.

self-produced mastery in parma, italy
every piece is entirely handcrafted by dario nasuti in his workshop in parma, the heart of italian mechanical excellence. The approach is that of a "metal tailor":

structure: three high-gauge steel cylinders welded onto a solid base plate, equipped with feet for a slight elevation from the floor.

finish: the surface undergoes a technical bead-blasting treatment, giving the steel a silky, matte texture (silk effect), perfect for diffusing light without distracting reflections.

electrical heart: a complex and safe system integrating 3 independent transformers and certified clip connectors, all with integrated grounding on the base.

bespoke: a tailor-made artwork
as a self-produced work, artigli offers total flexibility:
