Nastro Lighting Collection by Studiopepe for Tooy.

“These lamps perform their practical function in a silent and poetic way defining the space,” said Studiopepe of their latest collaboration with Tooy. “In the Nastro collection, we wanted to combine a flexible and supple element like a ribbon (“nastro” in Italian) with a more stable and fixed element like a precious weight and declined in a new palette of materials and colours.”

“We have always been fascinated by the juxtaposition of very different elements whose union create a new meaning”, explains the studio. “Lightness vs weight, mobility vs stability, light vs shadow, the Nastro project for Tooy was created to give body and light to these concepts.”

The new collection has debuted at De-siderio, the virtual manifesto project by Studiopepe. “It’s no longer a physical place that reflects our projects, but an imaginary architecture created in order to connect projects, told through a video that uses the poetic and synaesthetic language typical of art, creating references, connections, dialogues, analogies.”

This marks the first collaboration between the Italian illumination brand Tooy and Studiopepe, paving a way for future collaborations set to enrich the young, dynamic and curious soul of the brand founded in 2015. For more information, visit tooy.it.
