Rituals is a meeting between east and west, traditional and contemporary, poetic inspiration and technological research. The surface incisions made by industrialising the traditional blown glass grinding technique creates a fascinating graphic effect on the lamps, whether on or off. Rituals XL multiplies the intensity and scope of the effect while maintaining an airy lightweight feel.
Roberto Palomba and Ludovica Serafini have worked together since 1994, as architects and designers. As partners, they have designed furniture, developed numerous architectural projects, designed sets for theatre and film, created costumes and prepared cultural exhibitions.
At present, they collaborate as designers for some of the world's most respected design-driven companies including Zanotta and Foscarini. Their Zak sofa is a clever combination of creative intelligent design, minimalism and fresh ideas to form a fun and contemporary new classic.
