Milanese designer Antonino Sciortino added two new table lamps to his vast Metal Sculptures collection. This time Sciortino was intrigued by traditional Japanese shadow play and the use of soft light.
The combination of two stacked architectural volumes actually produces more shadow than light. As always, he loves to emphasize the characteristics of his favourite material – iron – allowing the rusty surface adding colour to the lamp.
At a young age, Antonino Sciortino was often found at his brother’s forge, where he was immersed in the craft of ironwork. He spent the rest of his free time at the dance school, where he would lay the foundations for a successful career as a dancer and choreographer. In 2003 he was approaching his forties and his body was increasingly sending signals that it was time to think of a life away from dancing.
Time to go back to his roots, back to iron. He moved to Milan, where he started working with iron wire, because it was easy to work with. He manipulated it in a crescendo of graceful, dancing lines into true masterpieces. In addition to his artwork, Antonino also creates interior objects and furniture, created with a recognisable eclectic craftsmanship and with the unmistaken signature of this creative and imaginative Sicilian.
For Serax, he has designed an exclusive collection for a wider market. These pieces adapt perfectly to a wide range of interiors, thanks to their pure shapes and vintage look and colour finish.
