From silk to glass up to aluminum and gold leaf the collections express multiple aesthetic and functional needs adapting to both modern and classic interiors. The armilla table lamp uses the techniques related to indirect and diffused light developed by marianofortuny. The original fortuny lamps are based on the models designed by mariano fortuny thanks to his research in the field of theatrical lighting. Special interest has been directed toward the mariano fortuny lamps which were originally conceived in silk.

Archeo venice design has now produced these lamps from murano glass. A material that lends itself to better lightening yet maintains the form the charm and the delicated decoration intact.
