Simonetta Gomiero: “This is a strange thing! So many beautiful private villas with wonderful architecture, so many luxurious hotels ... and so many empty, unsaid spaces that seem to be waiting for something. I was always surprised by this paradox: there is a house with brilliantly designed architecture, everything is there for something and for the sake of something, but ... often there is a place in it, which for some reason turned out to be out of plan.

We, the designers, are somewhat like scientists. We think constantly. I can’t say that I came to the office, sat down at the table and invented something important. I do not even remember when this thought occurred to me. Maybe I was walking down the street? Or looking at the trees in the garden? Or a cup of coffee? Just when this thought was with me, the circumstances were not important.

And the thought was: well, of course, this is a chandelier! Found the perfect key to solving so many "unsettled" spaces. I already knew what a chandelier would be. It had to be a very decorative thing, with carefully worked out details and ... a little bit crazy. (In principle, I have all the things like that.) Now she could only draw.

"It is perfect for spaces whose style can be described as minimalist chic," I thought, while sketching. On the classical interiors and nothing to say, everything is clear. I got a big, multi-tiered chandelier, black-red-gold - in the most trendy colors of recent years (after all, on the fashion catwalks the same).

Very little time passed between the idea and its embodiment, and already in April 2007 we set it up in Milan. Euroluce. Then in Verona, on Abitare il Tempo. But this story would not be complete, if this huge, eight-meter chandelier remained an exhibition specimen. Are you interested to know where she is now? In private apartments in Dubai. "
