And Terzani continues to commission designs from renowned artists including Nigel Coates, Maurizio Galante, Christian Lava and Dodo Arslan who add their unique voices contribute to Terzani's extensive collection.
With their most recent and highly celebrated collection, Terzani has taken the next step in its evolutionary process - building from its position as an industry leader to create an incubator for the future of lighting where Terzani can focus on new ideas and continue to redefine the way Luxury lighting is made.
The great Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer once said about his work: “It’s not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight line. Stiff, in exible, created by men. What really attracts me is the free, sensual curve. The curve I see on the sinuous course of our rivers, on the clouds in the sky, on your favorite woman’s body. The universe is entirely made of curves”. Inspired to pay tribute to one of the founders of modern architecture, designer Dodo Arslan has created a series of lights named “Oscar”, which pay homage through their adoption of Niemeyer’s signature sensuous curves. Oscar table lamp consists of a glass orb delicately held by curved brass. Design Dodo Arslan.
