Antonio Facco

It’s exciting to see the Oblure ‘Mondo’ lamp by Italian designer Antonio Facco featured in the latest photo shoot for celebrated Italian furniture maker Cassina. The inspired Mondo light design combines a planetary form with an abstract exterior that can be customised to cast different geometric shadows. Each unique variation can suit different moods and interiors.

This way, the creation and development of his work is never obvious but synthesis of a process of sensitive research integrated with the study of the new information and production systems.

Whatever project he undertakers, from product design to furniture, to interiors, to graphic or even photography, Facco always puts the creative process first. It was in 2013, during his graduation project final presentation at Instituto Europeo di Design, that Facco saw the beginning of a productive collaboration with his mentor Giulio Cappellini, which would later culminate in the release of a complete collection of glass tables in 2017, with an incredible chromatic effect and uncluttered geometric lines.

Besides designing products for Cappellini, Facco also collaborates with renowned architects, brands and designs, such as Antonlini, Bolon, AgustaWestland and Mohm. As a whole, the designer describes his work as “Cross-disciplinary, unrestrained, contemporary.”
