Do you know the Applique?
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)

Do you know the Applique? They are wall lamps that offer furniture with a type of lighting that we could define as “agile” or “sporty”. However, this leads them to be designed at the same time also with a certain elegance that does not exclude a high-level design. Linguistically they are daughters of French (appliquer is the verb that indicates their function).
CAOSCREO also wanted to try his hand at lamps, keeping faith with the long experience that the parent manufacturer of the brand - TERENZI SRL - has had in recent decades in terms of lighting for projects with other partners.
Here, as on other occasions, metal processing is the protagonist, with Lampadin@ composed of 2 silhouettes in this painted material, which allow the light source to be moved. The first shape is to be applied to the wall, the second is electrified and movable. The latter in fact has a magnetic base that can be placed on the wall shape to make a wall lamp, or placed on a support surface to have a table lamp. Lampadin@ is then embellished with a red or white woven fabric cable, which becomes a decorative element.
It is also one of CAOSCREO's products with the highest number of colors available, just to testify its ductility in terms of color and therefore its wide use. White, black, green, red, orange, yellow, lilac, fuchsia, serenity blue. This indicates the possibility of combining the 2 Lampadin@ silhouettes with the home furnishings or the space concerned, or even possessing them in greater numbers and combining them according to contrast or use of complementary colors.
The custom of fixing the chandeliers to the walls spread in the Baroque era when the large chandelier or central chandeliers were combined with more elements, one or more wall chandeliers that echo the main motif. Great scenographies for great eras.
Some models of lamps, already famous among contemporaries, are now consecrated by history, as timeless masterpieces of technology and aesthetics. In the last century, appliques were a cornerstone of furniture, so much so that even Le Corbusier designed the famous Applique de Marseille (1949), one of the most minimalist and famous of the twentieth century.
