Valor.S from Cassina
Valor.S is the table lamp and applique designed by Philippe Starck as a tribute to Vallauris, a tiny village on the French Riviera where, after World War II, Pablo Picasso and many other artists took up residence to reveal to the world the beauty of enamelled ceramics.
Starck interprets that period with his own personal approach to the malleable material used by great artists and painted by hand. The table lamp and applique are characterized by their smooth, organic shape and lively colours that include ivory white, orange, gold and silver.
In the monochromatic gold and silver versions, the lamp features a 24-carat polished gold finish on the exterior and is embellished with gold leaf detailing on the interior. In the silver version, the exterior is finished in platinum silver, while the interior is adorned with silver leaf.
The coloured decoration of the two-tone versions is always on the convex side. Variations in the decoration are due to the handcrafted nature of the product; slight inaccuracies in the enamelling are not considered a defect, but rather enhance the object and lend it uniqueness.
Cassina
Founded by Cesare and Umberto Cassina in Meda in 1927, the company launched industrial design in Italy during the 50’s by taking a completely new approach which saw a shift from handcraftsmanship to serial production. The company was pioneering in the way that it showed a striking inclination for research and innovation, combining technological skill with traditional craftsmanship. For the first time important architects and designers were involved and encouraged to envision new designs to be transformed into projects, a characteristic that still distinguishes the company. Today Cassina continues to represent new ways of living, creating complete and harmonious settings that bring together the best of design for each area of the home.
