Born in Brescia in 1974, Gabriele Picco is a visual artist and novelist whose works have conquered the world's greatest galleries, from New York's MoMA to the art biennales of Milan, Prague and Tirana. Passionate about the imaginary and symbolism, he explores themes of escape, travel and lightness in his creations. In 2005, for the Madonie Park in Sicily, he designed a striking sculpture inspired by the history of emigrants from southern Italy, symbolizing the hope of a better future and the dream of renewal.
This initial work gave rise to Nuvola, now transformed into a table lamp for the non-conformist brand Seletti. It features the iconic silhouette of the Fiat 500, a true icon of Italian design. On the roof of the 500 is a stylized Cloud that contains the light source. The delicate, subdued lighting is conducive to reverie and contemplation. From the outset, Picco had already imagined his sculpture "as a lamp, a hymn to lightness and dreams", a visual tribute to the idea of travel.
Nuvola is much more than a luminaire. It represents a moment suspended between reality and imagination, a nod to the distant horizons that make us dream. True to its innovative spirit, Seletti has transformed this sculpture into an accessible Decorative object, while preserving its poetic and symbolic power. With Nuvola, art penetrates everyday life in a subtle, elegant way, combining functionality and dreaminess. The Lamp thus becomes an iconic piece, fusing Picco's artistic approach with Seletti's non-conformist vision, to offer every interior an invitation to travel, dream and reinvent space.
Gabriele Picco's poetics are very close to the way Seletti interprets the world of design: dreamlike, imaginary, free. " . Nuvola is indeed another piece in the composite mosaic that, over the years, has seen Seletti transform unique works of art into accessible, functional decorative objects, while retaining their aesthetic characteristics and iconic power.
