The Gems of Penta

Elegant and essential creations for a refined kaleidoscope of light: these are the Gems suspensions from Penta designed by Francesca Lanzavecchia

Tradition sublimes with the vanguard, the artisanality of Made in Italy meets the creativity and innovation of contemporary designers. The creative process of Penta is characterized by these premises, with the aim of using light as a new expressive and communicative language. Every detail is taken care of with extreme rigour, the experimentation in the use of the material – from the use of glass to wood, metal, and fabric – combines with the attention in the realization of the finishes, for a result that condenses beauty and functionality at best. It is from this conception that the Gems line is inspired, suspension lamps characterized by clean and elegant lines, simple but with a strong aesthetic impact. The collection, with the design by Francesca Lanzavecchia, is divided into six elements that can be combined to create solutions that can enhance different environments and reflect the personality of those who live there.

The three lampshades have increasing diameters and reveal a luminous body provided with a blown glass sphere and a tube available in the Tall and Short versions, a composition that gives delicate transparencies and unusual overlaps; the elements can be made in different sizes and color variants, each combination creates unpredictable light games, while the warm and soft tones give life to a kaleidoscope of reflections, original patterns, and iridescent glows.

The essential structure, moreover, highlights one of the peculiarities of Penta products: the glasses of the composition are handmade and it is for this reason that each one shows small details that differentiate each lamp from the other, a creative nuance that is synonymous with uniqueness and handcrafted realization. The suspended lights of the Gems line are all jewels to be discovered, to exhibit individually as precious solitaires or in clusters, like a sparkling but discreet parure, for an elegance that leaves a mark giving suggestive atmospheres.
