PREVIEW FOR EUROLUCE 2025 – Salone del Mobile.Mllano

At Salone del Mobile.Milano, from 8 to 13 April 2025, on the occasion of EuroLuce 2025, Italian studio Pierattelli Architetture will preview the Pantarhei collection, designed for Il Fanale Group.

This project takes an innovative approach to lighting design, using natural materials that change with the seasons.

Interpreting the interaction between light, material, and time, Pierattelli Architetture designed a new series of outdoor lamps that merge with the surrounding landscape, enhancing the raw beauty of the materials in a delicate balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Claudio Pierattelli said: “Pantarhei combines the look of terracotta or cement from the top part of a dome. These natural materials change hues with the seasons, and the refined elegance of the antiqued brass stem with its aged look tells the story of its transformation.”

This collection has two different shapes: one with a doughnut-inspired dome and the other reminiscent of a delicate petal, both available in three heights.

Pantarhei‘s subtle yet powerful language, bridges heritage and modernity through light—an intangible yet structural element that defines and transforms spaces. Like light, these items combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary technology, resulting in a timeless and innovative collection.

Il Fanale Art Director Tomas Dalla Torre said: “As Heraclitus taught, in the eternal flow of time, everything is in motion – a concept that reflects the ever-evolving nature of life. This philosophy underpins the Pantarhei collection, designed by Pierattelli Architetture for Il Fanale.”

Alongside the outdoor versions, the collection includes a rechargeable table lamp, designed for indoor and outdoor use. This battery-powered model, provided exclusively in a doughnut shape, features the same materials and design philosophy as the outdoor versions, completing the collection.

Pantarhei exemplifies how light can be integrated into landscape architecture. Its optimised light distribution highlights pathways and surfaces, making it ideal for gardens, terraces, and walkways. The design subtly houses the light source, ensuring a soft, diffused illumination that blends harmoniously with its surroundings.

The natural textures of terracotta and concrete allow the lamps to merge with their environment – their imperfect surfaces echo the surrounding vegetation’s organic tones.

Architect Claudio Pierattelli said: “In architecture, light is more than just a tool for visibility— it defines spaces, volumes, surfaces, and creates emotions and atmospheres. The new lamps strike a balance between tradition and modernity, rooted in centuries-old craftsmanship techniques, particularly the terracotta expertise of the historic Fornace Manetti. In this environment, rich with artisanal heritage, we have reinterpreted age-old materials through a contemporary design approach.”

Pierattelli Architetture and Il Fanale’s partnership is driven by ongoing research and dialogue between aesthetics and technical innovation. The collection is the result of experimentation that respects historical craftsmanship while embracing modern design principles. Pantarhei embodies innovation, respect for materials, and culture. It is an expression of how design can harmonise with the landscape, preserving its essence and embracing its evolution.

This collection embodies a sustainable vision, employing durable, low-impact materials in keeping with the industry’s increasing focus on environmental quality. The lighting solutions were designed to ensure maximum energy efficiency and visual comfort, meeting designer and end-user requirements. Pierattelli Architetture explores the narrative potential of light as an architectural element guiding the eye, creating spatial hierarchies, enhancing details, and softening imperfections.

The collection preview will be on show at Salone del Mobile.Milano from 8 to 13 April 2025
