Tilia – from the Latin for linden – has been inspired by the spontaneous, fluid growth of natural forms. It is a sculptural representation of the invisible rules that allow natural structures to develop in space: river deltas, the veins of leaves, coral reefs. Tilia is a project that follows the logic of evolution of natural structures, and the study of mathematical and physical principles, such as the Fibonacci sequence, or fractals and comes to life like a new “luminous botanical species”, rather than an object: a metal structure from which branches emanate with different forms and lengths, culminating in diffusers of opaline frosted borosilicate glass that emit a soft, warm and enveloping glow.

The connections between the arms and the structure, rather than being concealed, become precious details: small contrasting metal spheres, like botanical buds.

Tilia comes in three colours and two different configurations: a more compact and vertical structure, and a wider, more theatrical version, always preserving a balance between lightness and intense presence.
