Jonathan Bocca introduces the Essenza lighting collection as part of VDF's collaboration with Ventura Projects.
Exhibitor: Jonathan Bocca
Project title: Essenza
Jonathan Bocca is an interior and furniture designer. He is introducing a lighting collection called Essenza as part of VDF's collaboration, which is available as either a floor or table lamp.
Each product in the range extends from a base of discarded Vagli marble, which draws focus to a delicate and transparent canvas through which the light shines. This is made from Japanese mulberry paper.
According to Bocca, the goal of the project is to couple artisanal manufacturing with discarded materials, and demonstrate how a single object can be used to "define and give strength to its surrounding environment".
