About the Item

Conceptual Inspiration: Surrealism and the Capture of Light "Possess" is a sculptural wall sconce that skillfully straddles the line between avant-garde design and surreal art. The artwork stems from an intrinsic desire to capture, hold, and control the light source, transforming an anatomical fragment into a highly theatrical piece of furniture. The creative process is constantly guided and inspired by the geometric, complex, and rebellious elements of 1970s progressive rock, which resonate in the studio, infusing the object with a sense of latent dynamism. The sconce categorically rejects staticity and creates a true visual narrative: the almost possessive and magnetic act of a hand grasping and radiating a sphere of warm light. The Manufacturing Process: Between Industrial Aesthetics and Sartorial Draping The creation of this artwork reflects a profound convergence between industrial precision and sculptural sensitivity, the result of a distinguished thirty-year career in the international luxury sector that began in 1992. This extraordinary cultural heritage—culminating in a decade as CEO of Onward Luxury Group until 2020 and in historic collaborations with global and American fashion icons such as Donna Karan—translates into the ability to manipulate materials, volumes, and the three-dimensionality of shapes with an almost sartorial approach. The manufacturing process is meticulous and carried out entirely by hand. It starts with a sturdy iron wall mount, equipped with a mounting bracket and grounding system, which is precision-machined to fit a male PVC mannequin hand. The structural and aesthetic fusion between the metal plate, the arm, and the internal lamp holder is achieved through the masterful use of metallic stucco. This material is handcrafted not only to secure the anchor but also to recreate, with extreme realism, the natural porosity of the skin and the texture of the veins on the arm. Once the modeling is complete, the entire structure is finished with a durable industrial powder coating, combining the richness of the RAL color chart (the prototype is shown in a vibrant orange) with the dynamic texture of the sculpture. Materials, Production, and Lighting Engineering The artwork is a unique piece of functional art that was entirely conceived, shaped, and assembled in Parma, Italy, within an impressive 300-sqm showroom and studio located in the heart of the historic center. Construction Materials: Iron support bracket, anatomically shaped PVC sculpture, hand-modeled metallic stucco, safety wiring, and powder-coated finish. Light and Shadow Engineering: The wall sconce is specifically designed to accommodate a large globe LED bulb, with a diameter of 12.5 cm and a power rating of 4.5W. The precise millimeter-level relationship between the opening of the palm and the curvature of the glass creates the perfect optical illusion of the sphere being held tightly between the fingers. When the wall sconce is turned on, the warm light creates a magnificent visual effect: while the orange body of the hand stands out in all its texture, it casts the long, sharp, and dramatic shadows of the fingers onto the wall behind it, transforming the surrounding space into an integral part of the artistic installation.
