Arno
Design Matteo Nunziati
Natevo Collection
For both the standard and table versions, the lamp Arno is elegant and undeniably contemporary, expressing all the intrinsic value of the article in the details and the skills applied in the manufacture.
The common feature of the armchair and the lamps Arno designed for Natevo is the use of leather in the manufacture – processed with a modern-day version of the tanning typical of the ancient Florentine traditions. The River Arno runs through the city of Florence, hence the collection’s name. In Medieval times, the hides were left to soak and soften in the river before the tanning procedures continued. I wanted to combine tradition and modernity with a contemporary language that would reflect the connections to the past.

Leather is the protagonist of the lamp Arno, an undoubtedly unusual material for this type of product. The shade has been created using an ancient tanning process and it contrasts beautifully with the clear simple and linear metal frame.
