Terzani is a family-owned Italian lighting company that was founded by Sergio Terzani in Florence in 1972. By combining traditional Italian craftsmanship with modern technology, the company creates lighting that blurs the lines of art, luxury and design. Taking experimental lighting design a step further, Terzani commissions designs from renowned artists including Nigel Coates, Maurizio Galante, Christian Lava and Dodo Arlsan.
The Precious collection features six stunning lighting products, all of which redefine the way luxury lighting is made. Designed by Barlas Baylar, Atlantis is a breathtaking installation that is reminiscent of some kind of deep sea marine animal. Hundreds of illuminated lengths of draped nickel chain – measuring three miles in total – cascade down from the gloss nickel band giving the impression of tentacles hanging down into the abyss of the ocean.
Stream is a stunning design from Christian Lava for Terzani. Featuring over seven kilometres of metal chain hanging in tiers from a nickel-plated frame, Stream casts an tranquil and striking shadow around the room. It is available as a suspension light, a wall light or as a floor lamp.
Combining traditional artisan techniques with cutting edge technology, Soscik is a modern reinvention of the classic chandelier designed by Nicolas Terzani. Created by interlacing metal chain over a nickel-plated frame, Soscik creates a dramatic yet romantic effect that would look great in a modern interior.
Which one of these beautiful, ethereal lights is your favourite? We’d love to know.
This modern luxury residence located at 1060 Woodland Drive in Beverly Hills, California, strikes with its geometry displayed both outside and inside. Take a look at the pool, for example – its shape follows the contours of both the dining volume and the white garden wall, giving the impression of slashing through the landscape. Located at the end of a gated driveway, the 5,868 square feet house was designed to be part of its surroundings, marking the need for a secluded modern lifestyle. Welcoming its owners and their guests with four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, the modern Californian mansion boasts porcelain tile and Brazilian walnut floors.
A luxurious Gaggenau kitchen with Carrara countertops and stainless steel appliances opens out to the rest of the first floor plan, constructing a column-defined open interior. The dining space is lined with vertical openings and a dark-framed glass wall offers views of the pool. A 24-foot concrete fireplace thrones in the main living space, while a Walnut Burl bar on the opposite side exposes the owner’s love for entertaining. The guest bedroom you can see in the photos below seems to be a little crowded, but the main bedroom makes up for this with a stunning display of furniture embedded in the design. Here, wooden floors descend into a duet of steps, following the contours of the bed and complementing the use of ebony Macassar wood. If you’re convinced this is your dream home, then you get in touch with The Agency, who have this residence listed for $6,995,000.
