Established in 1989, Catellani & Smith reflects the artistic personality of its founder, Enzo Catellani, carrying out, for more than thirty years, work that is in continuous evolution, halfway between art and craft. Enzo Catellani’s lighting creations are objects with a soul, which reveal the importance and unique qualities of a product made ‘by hand’. The distinctive and personal approach to design, together with a constant focus on technological innovation and research, make Catellani & Smith a leading company in the lighting sector. The company is also unceasingly involved in producing custom pieces for private and public spaces, including museums, art galleries, theatres, prestigious hotels, exhibitions and events.

At the centre stage of the exhibition are the latest creations by Catellani & Smith, complemented by several models of the collection. Pòta! is a pendant lamp with a light yet voluminous brass frame that houses new, handcrafted lighting units. Glass and brass play a refined contrast, illuminated by modern LED filaments. This piece exemplifies the brand’s fusion of technical innovation with artisanal excellence. Gold Moon features a striking wall composition of three six–disc lamps, showcasing the brand’s iconic design. Golden leaf–coated discs reflect the warm glow of hidden LEDs nestled within copper curls, casting mesmerising patterns of light and shadow. Its sculptural presence becomes even more striking in custom arrangements.

Slow Extraction / Dimora Circolare / Wasted / La Mesure. Marco Evaristti is an artist and architect trained in the studio of Professor Henning Larsen. His work operates between art, architecture, and design, examining responsibility and the systems shaping contemporary life. During 3daysofdesign, he presents Slow Extraction at the Odd Fellow Palace. The installation treats furniture as spatial structure—circular forms and cubes creating rhythm and small–scale architecture. Crafted in FSC–certified wood and plant–based textiles, materials remain visible. La Mesure extends the project, focusing on the body as measure and proposing furniture as lived architecture.
