The minimum gesture
Tratto was conceived as a slim sculptural floor lamp reduced to the essential. Its narrow profile creates a quiet vertical presence, allowing light to shape the surrounding wall without visually weighing down the room.
A slender line of light shaped by balance, proportion and restraint.
Tratto is a slim floor lamp conceived as a precise luminous line: a minimal presence that defines space through proportion, shadow and warm indirect light.

Original working sketch from Tommaso Cristofaro's notebook, showing the first development of Tratto as a slim vertical form and the study of proportion, profile and reflected light.
The drawing is presented as it was made. Measurements, corrections and imperfections remain part of the original design process.
- form
Tratto is defined by an exceptionally slim vertical profile, reduced to what is necessary. Its proportions create a precise relationship between line, wall and reflected light, giving the object presence without visual weight.
The light source remains concealed within the slim profile, allowing warm indirect light to wash the wall softly. Tratto creates atmosphere through reflection rather than glare, extending its presence beyond the object itself.
- light
Each Tratto Floor Lamp is assembled and finished by hand in the CristofaroLuce atelier. Its slim profile is aligned and adjusted individually so that the line remains precise and the reflected light stays clean and controlled.
Each numbered piece is accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity, documenting the model, edition number and authorship.
Available in matte sandblasted finishes. Gold leaf is applied by hand.
