Lovely Lighting: Aldo Bernardi


New from Aldo Bernardi.
Many say lighting is the most important design element in a space. It provides a mood...it can make or break a social event ( I mean, can you imagine a romantic dinner with super market lights blazing?)....it can make one look sickly green or beautifully rosy.....it can be a bother if done wrong, and a blessing if done well.

So you can imagine my delight whenever I run across a lighting line that not only provides an opportunity for great light quality, but also puts the cherry on top of the visual design of a project. I recently became familiar with just such a line designed by Aldo Bernardi.

Mr. Bernardi is not new to lighting design. He began his business in the 70's north of Venice Italy. He has been working with local craftsmen to take materials such as copper, brass, porcelain and glass making them into beautifully simple, yet sophisticated fixtures.

This is but a smattering of what his company has to offer......some of my favorites. Some are from his well established line, and a few are new to the line. I hope you enjoy!
