As an Italian designer, Tommaso also places a great emphasis on aesthetics. His designs are characterized by their clean lines, minimalism, and elegance.
Gica, also known as Gica Contra that is the counterpart of Bastian Contrario, is a design lamp dedicated to my son, Riccardo. While growing, like all children Riccardo have been in contrast with his parent’s opinions. A story that everyone is sharing has given me the inspiration to design Gica.
Â
The starting point of the lamp is a simple sign of the exclamation (!) that followed one of the many NO’s exclaimed by my son. At the base, the circle marks the junction between surfaces.
Â
From the thin line of matter, a triangle of light is projected on the surfaces and the environment is colored in a golden yellow light that infuses a warm sensation.

The line and the point, in their simplicity, give life to a sculpture that capable of spreading emotion and visual pleasure, ie beauty!
