Profilo is a composition of planes shaped by light. The name itself evokes the precise contour the lamp draws in space, a silhouette that emerges as the essential synthesis of the whole. The structure is born from a rhythmic sequence of overlapping discs which, when viewed from a distance, form clean and recognizable silhouettes — spherical, conical, or suggestive of a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic chandelier. The configuration is built through the interplay of solid and void, presence and transparency, giving rise to a form defined by subtraction. The glass elements, crafted using the traditional Murano technique of centrifuga, are characterized by substantial thickness, tactile vibration, and subtle organic variations. A delicate opal spiral runs across the surface, guiding the diffusion of light, modulating its intensity and creating a soft, measured effect. At the center, the lighting technology integrates discreetly, allowing the glass to remain the protagonist in defining the atmosphere. Light spreads between the planes, filtered and reflected, generating a layered and dynamic perception. The result is a finely calibrated visual equilibrium in constant dialogue with the surrounding space Available in multiple configurations, Profilo maintains coherence and purity of form in every expression. Geometry thus becomes a recognizable language, capable of adapting to any space while preserving its distinctive formal identity.

NICHETTO®
Luca Nichetto was born in Venice in 1976, within a context deeply shaped by the Murano glassmaking tradition, which directly involved his family and early on informed his sensitivity to material, light, and process. His career effectively started in his schooldays, where holidays were spent selling his designs to local factories, before he went on to study at the city’s Istituto Statale d’Arte and then take a degree in industrial design at the local Università Iuav di Venezia (IUAV), graduating in 1998. The following year, he joined the Murano-based glassmaker Salviati, later becoming a product designer and consultant for lighting company Foscarini. He took the leap to setting up his own practice in the city, NICHETTO®, in 2006. Five years later came another major turn in his career, when he
moved to Stockholm, Sweden, to start his family and opened a second studio there, combining his Italian flair with the Swedish spirit of modernity and sustainability. Over the years, Luca Nichetto has served as Art Director for many international design brands and gained a reputation as a multidisciplinary designer. He has lectured and led workshops at several universities, including serving as a professor of design at the IUAV, and has sat on juries for various international design competitions. His work is often featured in prestigious exhibitions worldwide and has been the subject of retrospectives in cities including London, New York, and Beijing. His highly researched, innovative projects have earned him an impressive array of international awards for designs that range from products, accessories and furniture to architecture, exhibition design and branding.
