Nile
Rodolfo Dordoni
Nile embodies the perfect balance of two opposites, the consistency of marble and the delicacy of glass. The base and the diffuser result in a dynamic and sophisticated composition of volumes that seems to defy the law of gravity.

“I wanted a sculptural presence. I designed two intersecting volumes: the small marble base, and the large glass diffuser. When I looked at them I was reminded of the famous bust of Queen Nefertiti, hence the name: Nile.”
