This is a special occasion to present six new collections and to showcase the serial attitude of Barovier&Toso products. Curated by vandersandestudio, the exhibition project brought to Euroluce 2023 proposed a dialogue between installation and catalog products. In this dual, suggestive, and visionary reading, the path presented the new Empire collections, with its square-section tubes worked in a bark-like texture, bespoke site-specific at the reception; Germogli, the central lounge area protagonist, with a spectacular 19 sqm cascade of Venetian crystal, a custom installation made of luminous rods wrapped in climbing leaves; and Clepsydra, a revisitation of a model designed in the 1920s from the company's historical archive, constructed from the radial multiplication of a base hourglass-shaped module, available both in catalog and bespoke versions, forming three-meter-high columns. Sophisticated design objects born from the exploration of artisanal glass processing techniques and the gentle shapes of flowers in nature: these are the eight pieces of the Campanula collection, designed by García Cumini, and featured in the central part of the stand, illuminating the long lacquered red meeting table. Signed by Roberto Lazzeroni, Punk showcased a different declination of the concept of multiples, poetic, ironic, and rigorous, a unique interpretation of the confrontation between tradition and modernity. To conclude the new proposals for 2023, one of the side areas hosted the Ginori Domus collection, with the Trinitas and Sideris lamps, created together with Conterie, from the collaboration between the historic Italian ceramic company Ginori 1735 and Barovier&Toso, under the artistic direction of Nichetto Studio. Opéra, in all its versions, Vallonné, Metropolis, Padma, Rosati, Camparino, Amsterdam, and the iconic Venezia 1295 chandelier completed the setup, presented, in some cases, in a serial format, consisting of multiple models juxtaposed or artistically arranged.
