The strong personality of Vicky exudes from the light, which is modelled by the Indian-style floral decorations embossed in the crystal, adding a soft touch to this industrially produced item. A break from minimalism. As its creator from the Nicola Design studio explains: “Vicky contaminates spaces which are made cold and influenced by standardization that have surrounded us in these years.

The collection is in chrome and crystal, a blend between technology, art and design. This collection has strikingly modern lines and technological solutions and shows real craftsmanship in the production of the crystal elements”.
The collection is made up of hanging, table, wall and ceiling lamps for indoor use. The diffusers are in crystal while the structures are in polished chrome. The table lamps have a lampshade in white or black fabric and a double light source, and consequently a double light switch. For all models, it is possible to mount the glass upside-down to allow freedom of design. The lamp runs on mains power and is suitable for use with halogen bulbs.

About Designer
Collaboration between these two architects, Nicola Gardin and Roger Zanon began during the 80’s throughout design competitions as the Gunnar, Lisson Awards. Nicola Architechture&tDesign studio/study, founded in 1996, started to realize fashionable interiors for the smartest clubs in Italy (in Lignano, Trento, Monfalcone, Milano, Treviso); then realized for the first time a church’s interior in Shiroki Brijeg, Bosnia Erzegovina, which is now going to be enlarged.
While they were studying architecture at the Venice University they created “Architectional”, a movement whose aim was to get a deeper insight of Internationalism; Architectional was often supported by the University and Reasearch ministry, Veneto Region, the Cultural Association “Venice provincial council”, Architects National Order.
During the same years, they also organized summits in collaboration with “Sds” and the international review “Casabella”; to these events have taken part wordly famous architects as Arata Isokazi, Toyo Ito, Makio Hasuike, Shigeru Ban, Kazuyo Sejima, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, Mansilla et Tunon, Alfreso Paya, Peter Eisenman, Daniele Bedini. Together with the last one, who’s been working on the International Space Station interiors for ESA, they presented in their “2004 International Mars Station tesis”, a project about a pneumatic swelling structure which could make life possible on extremly inhospitable place.
They are currently working on projects for Dubai, Jeddah and Il Cairo; and on design projects in Italy, with firms internationally known as committed to work following the most advanced innovations and and engaged in a never-stopping research for technical improvement.
