The result of collaboration between Andromeda and the designer Leo De Carlo, Livia is a sophisticated mix of creativity and technology, playful imagination and geometric regularity.
Livia combines the technical ability to produce innovative light sources and the beauty of the Murano glass tradition, the random irregularities of the glass curls contrast with the pure rationality of the supporting steel sheet.
The particular brilliance of the glass elements
is obtained by means of an innovative micro-neon lighting system
sunk
into the steel structure, transforming the irregular glass
filaments into giant optical fibres
.
In the base, a row of LEDs are inset flush with the steel sheet to provide highly effective zenith lighting.
