Story
A hand around a flame
Mano Light is an innovative collection of metal sheet lamps. Umberto Bellardi Ricci designs it as a series of abstract sketches, whose proportions can be adapted to different scales, and the starting point is the gesture of a hand protecting a candle flame.
Standing Mano
The result is Standing Mano, a two-metre luminous sculpture with a distinctive design that emanates a warm, enveloping light, made from a metal sheet with simple, precise folds and a light.
