Soffi Lights: the purity of light and glass blown by skilful Venetian artisans. GamFratesi’s minimalist design captures the exact moment in which the blowing gives the glass its form. Delicate and irregular globes seem to emerge from a slim saddle-leather strap, suspended in space by gravity. The design is inspired by an old manual art and translates into a minimalist and contemporary solution. Soffi lights consist of two elements, both in blown glass. The external globe, ethereal and almost immaterial, has a nuanced and faded milk white or smoked colour. Inside, the light fitting, in matt white blown and acid-etched glass, is visibly more solid. The light produced by the Soffi is evenly diffused and exalts the faded colour of the external glass and its gradual transparency. A magic and harmonious effect, even more evocative because every Soffi light is a unique object. The blowing of body-tinted glass produces different nuances and irregularities in the shape of the light. The Soffi collection includes three sizes of lights- small, medium and large- which can be combined in different configurations. As well as single lights, linear compositions with three globes and bunch compositions with three or five globes. The refined Cuoio Saddle Extra leather strap comes with two finishes, Cammello (Camel) or Talpa (Taupe), with contrast stitching and tone-on-tone raw-edge seam. A saddle-leather loop conceals the joint of the strap. The Poltrona Frau logo is branded on the strap. All internal metal parts of the Soffi lights have a natural brass finish.

Concept

Soffi. The purity of light and glass blown by Venice's master craftsmen. The minimalistic design of GamFratesi captures the exact moment when the blowing technique gives the glass its shape. Delicate and irregular globes seem to float out of a slender leather arm suspended in the air by the force of gravity. The project is inspired by an ancient art translated into a simple yet contemporary language.

The Soffi lamps are composed of two elements in blown glass.

The outer globe, ephemeral and almost weightless, is in faded tones of milk-white or smoky grey. The globe holding the light, in blown glass in an opaque white etched finish, is solider visually. When lit, the lamp blossoms with an even and diffused light, which enhances the faded tones of the outer glass and its gradual transparency. The magical and harmonious effect can be used to light various different settings, made even more evocative by the unique nature of each Soffi lamp, with subtle differences in tone and irregular shapes created by blowing different colours of glass.

The lamps are available in three sizes, small, medium and large, which can be arranged in a range of configurations. As well as an individual lamp, the design can also be arranged in linear compositions of three globes or hanging arrangements with three or five globes.

The arm is enhanced with Cuoio Saddle Extra leather, available in Camel or Taupe, with contrasting stitching and a dyed tone-on-tone trim. A leather buckle hides the join. The Poltrona Frau logo is heat-stamped onto the arm.

All internal metal parts feature a natural brass finish. The steel rosettes are painted white with transparent adjustable cables.
