With this project, I aimed to redefine the concept of a wireless lamp, continuing the work started with Nemo in 2022. Sorrento is an object that surpasses the limits of perception, bringing the archetype of the chandelier into the present. A metal base supports three slender aluminum stems, while the diffusers in transparent methacrylate, crafted from solid material, visually evoke the flame of a candle and indirectly illuminate the surface. It's an object that is as immediate as it is theatrical.
