Glass and brass in balance
Altea brings clear ribbed glass together with slender brass. The glass forms vertical cylinders supported by the metal; in the versions with several lights, brass elements also connect the separate shades. The bulb remains visible inside, becoming part of the composition.
Ghidini 1849 carries this relationship through different kinds of lighting. On the wall, a single cylinder stands close to the surface; on a table, the same detail can be seen at close range. In the floor lamp and chandelier, the glass is repeated and the fine brass lines become more visible as they join the lights.
The balance between solid lines and transparent glass shifts with each form. The table and wall lights present a small, self-contained composition; the larger structures leave space between their vertical elements. Seen together, the lamps share a material rhythm without relying on an identical silhouette.
A common language for different spaces
The vertical lines of the glass give the collection its distinctive texture. The brass is available in different finishes, allowing it to be paired with timber, stone or other materials already present in an interior.
A wall light beside a mirror and a lamp on a nearby table can share the same materials while retaining their own proportions. One family, different forms: made in Italy, Altea lets the relationship between glass and brass continue from room to room.
