January 2023
An exceptional fusion of technological innovation, original materials and extravagant shapes creates new scenarios in which light reigns supreme.
This appears to be the main trend of the interior lighting sector. The founding idea of the latest creation by the most prestigious brands selected by INTERNI is oriented towards the development of lighting bodies that deliver a precise stylistic connotation, decisively characterising the surrounding environment.
Other keynote features include a desire to apply the latest technological innovations and go down unexplored roads, culminating in increasingly more unusual collections. In stylistic terms there has been a shift from sculptural projects to lighter and more essential shapes, indicating a tireless commitment to combining superlative aesthetics with hi-tech engineering to produce products with explicit artistic references.We can start from Homey by Poltrona Frau, designed by GamFratesi, a table evoking home values and underlining the central role it plays in everyday life. B&B Italia’s Allure, on the other hand, represents a new glamourous approach revisited in a contemporary way, with a design balanced between straight lines and sinuous curves. Sculpture-like and light, with an appealing visual effect, Minotti’s new items are Linha Fina and Olive, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni.
Poliform’s Curve, designed by Emmanuel Gallina, is a table with a wood structure and a marble top conveying elegance and refinement to the environment. Finally, Cassina’s news: Sengu, designed by Patricia Urquiola, inspired by the ritual reconstruction of Japanese shrines and Longplane, by Rodolfo Dordoni, a table with a remarkable aesthetic balance, clear lines and rigorous proportions.

HENGE - SUPERB-ALL by Massimo Castagna
Iconic and eccentric fibreglass spheres of various sizes, suspended with a bold narcissism from long, tapered burnished brass and metal stems. Geometry and gravity intersect, whimsically weaving virtuous narratives and extravagantly emphasizing a metaphorical interplay. Designed by Massimo Castagna .
LASVIT - UOVO by Rony Plesl

The egg is an ancient figure that symbolises the creation of the universe.

BAROVIER & TOSO - Collection Vallonné and Vallonnè Opale

TOM DIXON - Beat collection
The Beat collection is an exercise in expressive minimalism. The original design arose from the sculptural simplicity of brass saucepans and traditional receptacles for water from the subcontinent. Pendant lights are made from pure brass slabs and are available in six different shapes: Wide, Fat, Tall, Stout, Flat and Waist, as well as in black, white, grey and brushed brass. The Beat collection also includes wall, floor and table lamps.
