I have read, listened, written, drawn, painted, photographed, visited… Everything can be more interesting if you remain curious, if you do not lose the desire to learn and experiment. I pause to observe the contrasts of colors, the different points of view of a shot, the sound of synonyms with which the same thing can be described, the harmony of a painting. A note can also be color, poetry is also melody, an image can scream more than one word. The expression: that's all... it's all here. (Editorial Director - Art Director)
To talk about myself I would use the English concept of Language Enthusiast, with its bad translation into Italian. Years of study, travel and authentic and pulsating passion for what lies beyond the border converge in this expression. I have an indiscriminate interest in any culture and any person with a story to tell. I remain with difficulty compressed in my dimension, I feel the continuous need to push myself further. I can't stand the innuendo, the half sentences and the boredom of waiting rooms. Certainly communicative, analytical, I split reality into a thousand pieces and then reassemble it. I think and write in 4 languages, which I love all of them, because inside they sing me a beautiful song. (Editor - Translator).
What unites Piacentini's Architecture with Greenaway's Cinema, Munari's Design with Tiepolo's painting and Kandiskij's studies? What unites the election posters with the paper tickets we used for the tram? For visual culture, the challenge of the third millennium lies in seeing the red thread that binds each of its branches to tell the image and aesthetics. I would like to do it through a passion that comes from the tradition of classic cinema. After all, what is the history of Design if not the cerebral attempt to give a soul to matter, to plagiarize the form according to its most hidden meaning and all to be revealed? (Editor - Reporter)

TERENZI SRL was the protagonist in the 2000s of numerous projects in the field of lighting: these have invested a transversal idea of Design and include different natures and styles.
One of the most aesthetically refined concerns the Aeros suspension lamp by Targetti Poulsen, a refined combination of “grace” and technicality.
The British industrial designer Ross Lovegrove wanted to create an ethereal object that would give a sense of agility despite its large size, an undoubtedly arduous challenge.
Aeros was conceived with two parts in anodized aluminum: joined together gave a curvilinear design, perforated they made an elaborate mesh of contiguous circular embroideries. Inspired by nature, the motif of the surface texture, however, also contained references to ancient Byzantine decorations, a civilization that considered itself the sole heir of the Roman Empire until the Turkish conquest of Constantinople in 1453. The historical-humanistic factor is also combined in appearance with the logical-scientific one, as the physiognomy is related to the numerical sequence of Leonardo Fibonacci of 1202 linked to the logarithmic spiral. This numerical succession, exhibited in Liber abbaci by the Pisan mathematician, provides that each number is the sum of the previous two, except 0 and 1, the first two. So let us talk about Organic Design and a Design attracted by fractals, pivoting on nature and on the numerical ratios that regulate it. This structure characterizes the propagation of light through a horizontal emission; this is diffused towards the bottom and suffused towards the top and also the characteristic shadows are projected by the aluminum lace which reproduces the shapes we were talking about.
This is how a lamp has within itself multiple symbols and meanings studied in detail that our inattentive eyes often tend not to grasp.
Specifically, TERENZI SRL was asked between 2007 and 2009 to engineer, prototype and produce Aeros. Aluminum, a material indicated and chosen by Lovegrove for its lightness, was worked through the drawing, shearing, cutting and bending phases, before being anodized to obtain a Golden Sand color, not without problems and experimentation, while the circular structure on the other hand, it was obtained by joining the lower and upper parts obtained from the mold. The lamp represented one of the most complex projects managed by TERENZI SRL, so much so that the design and construction of the mold, subsequent industrialization and prototyping had been rejected by other companies precisely due to executive difficulties.
This lamp arouses a sense of fluctuation and the apparent suspension stage in an indefinite space and time - precisely due to the mode of propagation of light mentioned above - gives it a "mystical" dimension. On the other hand, the Greek word aéros means air.
