Victoria like the huge Amazonian water lilies which float on the waters of the river Rio. The disks shield the light sources that produce an indirect and diffused light. Staggered and arranged on several levels, the disks are spread around a central linear body that goes through and keeps them together, as a stem with leaves. Victoria is a suspension lamp conceived to create a sculptural object, light, with a major impact in space. The result is a delicate system of reciprocal balances, with a vertical development. The narrow central cylinder integrates into the lower part a further source, which guarantees a spot light and, with the indirect discs, confers the space a practical and comfortable illumination at the same time.

Valerio Sommella is an Italian Industrial designer, born in Tuscany in 1980. He graduated cum laude at the Politecnico of Milan in 2004, and began his design career with Stefano Giovannoni. After working for Marcel Wanders’ team in Amsterdam, he moved back to Milan where he founded Valerio Sommella Design Studio in 2009. He has collaborated with a wide range of companies, focusing on everyday objects, furniture, lighting and accessories, with the same attention for small scale production as well as mass market.
He considers every project as an opportunity to challenge his idea of design, a constant dialogue between context, users, materials, technologies and beauty. The resulting objects are not chapters of the same book, but short stories, each one with its own plot, carachters and finale.
Over the years his Studio developed projects for companies such as Alessi, Moooi, Kundalini, Calligaris, Honda, Falmec, Konica minolta, Modo, Panasonic, and many others.
