Karman ...the beauty of light

 ULULÌ-ULULÀ designed by Matteo Ugulini for  Karman  (2013 Catalog)

Matteo Ugulini has created the indoor suspension lamp ULULÌ-ULULÀ  for the Italian company KARMAN   . " We give you the moon inspiring art ,projects and dreams....".

" Ululì-Ululà is dream and imagination. It’s the moon, mysterious thing winking behind the charming veil of night clouds to take us to the wonderful world of imagination. Once more and again the designer Matteo Ugolini succeeds in turning a natural element into furnishing piece for lighting which absolutely strikes with its power of reminiscence. The shape it’s not new at all, but worth of it: its geometrical perfection with a new interpretation of the designer matching lace and macramé to fibreglass, which can be either painted white or quartz-grey giving as a result a unique piece of lighting. Suspended in the air, endorsed on the floor or in the middle of a meadow, Ululì-Ululà live their lives once lit up, creating warm amber tones even in the darker nights. Ululì-Ululà is a game of words summing up a small version (Ululì) and large version (Ululà) of a sphere available both with indoor + outdoor (IP65) wiring. " Via ARCHIPRODUCTS

KARMAN ..."Il bello della luce"

Dream home ....modern meets ancient

Dream home ....I could live there forever.

The acclaimed Italian designers Ludovica+Roberto Palomba carve a serene retreat out of a 17th century oil mill in Salento ,filling it wiht custom creatinons and their greatest hits .When the couple decided to look for vacation home ,they turned their gaze from the hectic world of Milan ,their home base ,and started h ouse hunting over 600 miles aways in the southeastern part of Italy in Salento (sometimes referred to as the high heel in Italy's boot) .
They found the house of their dreams ,and old mill that dates back to the 17th century in Sogliano Cavour,a small village in the province of Lecce .

 “It was love at first sight,” says Serafini. “We are architects, and we immediately understood the potential of the place.” The couple realized that they could put their own imprint on the house but still retain its raw spirit, keeping the ancient stone floors, walls, and arches intact."
