Adria
ADRIA
The contemporary alternative to a chandelier, reinvented with a
fresh, dynamic approach, which is the distinguishing feature of
NAVA+NAVA designers. This is the idea behind Adria, a thread that
connects the past to the future, as the name itself implies. Adria is
the origin of the name of the Adriatic Sea, a body of water that has
played a key role in human evolution and fosters the exchange of
cultures and goods.
While the most characteristic elements of chandeliers – the
central stem and bobeches – have been maintained, they have
been redesigned in a play of balances to create a bold effect.
Adria is a “destructured” suspension light that stunningly
combines transparent glass shades with slender, minimalistic and
unobtrusive supports.
Paolo Emanuele Nava and Luca Maria Arosio of NAVA+NAVA
Design Studio explained, “In this way, the concept of the classic
chandelier was turned over and simplified – the central stem
is counterbalanced with bobeches supported not from below
with arms, but suspended from above with supports inspired by
40
modern architecture in a play of harmonious contrasts of modern
and classic elements”.
It features luminous drops suspended in mid-air, an entwining
of delicate yet bold “strings”, disconnected elements that take
shape in a skilfully ordered combination of innovation and classic
atmospheres. The light emitted from the glass does not lose that
exquisite, romantic allure that distinguishes this material, worked
with undisputed mastery by Italamp.
Adria seeks to continue the company’s great tradition in the world
of chandeliers, while also opening new avenues where tradition
meets innovation, thanks to both design and technology.
A versatile product, it can meet the diverse needs of architects,
designers and final users, offering design ideas and special
details that are well-suited to settings ranging from residential to
contract.
