Nunziati CityLife Apartment

NATEVO produces a complete range of furnishings that all include one extremely unusual feature: they have been fitted with LED lights that illuminate their surroundings. An apartment furnished with pieces from the NATEVO range will have no need for lamps, chandeliers and other light fittings with undeniable advantages in energy, financial and ecological terms. "The products designed were inspired by the German rationalism of Bauhaus, where performance and purpose are transformed into beauty and elegance. The characteristic feature common to all pieces of furniture are the straight, sharp, decisive lines, a sort of geometric scaffolding that produces bookcases, storage containers, dining tables, coffee tables, armchairs, beds and wardrobes. The light fittings are included inside pipes and the end-result is an eye-catching contrast between the shape of the structure and the gentle embrace of the indirect light. Traditional and sophisticated materials have been used in the production of the furniture: aluminium, wood and marble. The contrast perceived is transformed into the balance between antique and modern, between contemporary lines, innovative technology and surfaces extracted from memory." - Matteo Nunziati - The illumination technology project The apartment covers a total floorspace of 110 sq.m. Matteo Nunziati first designed the pieces of Natevo furniture and then planned how they would be positioned in the various rooms. Following this, Natevo developed the Illumination Technology Project, a process that involves a complex series of calculations; these determine the qualitative parameters of the illumination, with optimization and calibration of the light in relation to the size of the rooms and the characteristics of the furniture.
