Valerio Sommella is an Italian industrial designer, born in Tuscany and raised in Milan where he graduated with Honors at the Design Department of the Milan Polytechnic. He spent the first years of his career working for important design practice between Milan and Amsterdam before he founded Valerio Sommella Design Studio in 2009. His studio works 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, characters and finale.
Over the years his Studio developed projects for companies such as Alessi, Alcantara, Apple, Moooi, Kundalini, Calligaris, Honda, Falmec, Konica minolta, Modo, Panasonic, and many others.

Client: Kundalini
Year: 2017
Designed with: Alberto Saggia
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.
