"campanula" draws inspiration from the wildflower of the same name, reinterpreting its natural botanical grace through a radical, avant-garde lens. The piece represents the ultimate convergence of haute couture and collectible art design. Italian designer dario nasuti infuses this lighting fixture with over 30 years of experience and artistic sensibility gained in the luxury fashion industry, shifting textile matter from a two-dimensional element into a three-dimensional sculpture capable of shaping and framing light.

the production process & the "crystallization" technique
each individual wall sconce is meticulously handcrafted in the designer’s studio in parma, italy, through a complex process divided into three distinct stages:

modeling & draping: a single 100% pure wool panel is manually manipulated, folded, and draped. Using only needle and thread—exactly like crafting a bespoke haute couture gown—the designer controls the movement of every single crease. The base is secured with high-tenacity adhesives, and temporary tension wires are inserted to guide the fabric's organic flow.

industrial powder coating: once the hand-stitching is complete, the piece undergoes high-temperature industrial powder coating and thermal curing. This avant-garde treatment triggers an alchemical metamorphosis: the wool hardens entirely, becoming rigid, structurally sound, and solid to the touch, much like plastic.

textural contrast: despite its newfound structural rigidity, the surface visually preserves every single feature of heavy, felted wool, including the yarn's characteristic "peeling" effect. This creates a captivating tactile and visual short circuit.

bespoke customization & finishes
true to the brand's philosophy, "campanula" is a tailored sconce produced exclusively made-to-order. To seamlessly integrate into high-end interior design projects, the finish is fully customizable: clients and architects can request the industrial coating in any color from the official ral chart.

engineering & atmospheric light
the sconce is conceived as an artwork that projects intimate, theatrical shadows. It comes standard with a 2w led flickering flame bulb that mimics candlelight, emphasizing the depth and dynamism of the hand-draped folds. Upon request, the light source can be configured (free of charge) with steady-light led bulbs (warm or cool tones) from 2w up to 6w. The internal electrical system is built entirely with premium ce-certified components and includes a structural grounding wire.
