Groove, Plissé, and Riketta win the 2024 Good Design Awards

An award that celebrates international design

Three Vistosi collections have been awarded the 2024 Good Design Award, one of the most prestigious and enduring honors in the international design scene. Groove, designed by Hangar Design Group, Plissé, by Chiaramonte & Marin, and Riketta, designed by Oriano Favaretto, were recognized for their ability to interpret lighting design through a perfect balance of aesthetic research, technological innovation, and construction quality.

This important achievement confirms Vistosi's ongoing commitment to creating collections that showcase the excellence of Murano blown glass, transforming manufacturing tradition into a contemporary language. This recognition celebrates not only the value of individual collections, but also a design vision that places design, craftsmanship, and innovation at its core.

Plissé: the lightness of nature reinterpreted in glass

Inspired by the soft, airy forms of jellyfish, Plissé translates the delicacy of natural elements into a collection with a powerful visual impact. The large blown glass diffuser encloses an internal fabric shade that, through the interplay of transparencies, colors, and textures, generates a sophisticated interplay of light and depth. The effect is that of an elegant and enveloping luminous presence, enhancing both the material and its surrounding environment.

The collection is available in a pendant version with an integrated LED light source and stands out for its ability to combine technological innovation and traditional craftsmanship. The blown glass, crafted according to Vistosi's consolidated manufacturing experience, enhances the purity of the forms and helps create a soft, uniform illumination, making Plissé an ideal solution for high-end residential and contract settings.

Groove: essential geometries and maximum versatility

Designed by Hangar Design Group, Groove reinterprets the rigor of 1960s minimalism through a contemporary, essential, and versatile language. The collection is distinguished by a structure composed of four sliding metal frames that can be combined in ever-changing configurations, allowing for the creation of dynamic and customizable compositions based on space and design needs.

The alternation of solids and voids, along with the balance between glass and metal, gives the lamp a graphic and architectural identity, capable of interacting with both residential and contract environments. The modularity of the system offers considerable compositional freedom, while the attention to detail and quality of materials reflect Vistosi's design approach, in which innovation, functionality, and aesthetic research coexist in perfect harmony. Groove thus represents a refined lighting solution, designed to adapt effortlessly to contemporary and ever-evolving contexts.

Riketta: essentiality and character

Riketta, designed by Oriano Favaretto, interprets contemporary design through a pared-down language, where formal simplicity and attention to detail blend in harmonious balance. Its clean silhouette highlights the dialogue between the metal frame and the white glass diffuser, creating a discreet yet distinctive presence.

The LED light source is integrated into the diffuser, positioned at the bottom of the metal cage, a solution that ensures uniform, soft, and comfortable light distribution. Available in two sizes and featuring a matte white frame finish, Riketta stands out for its versatility and its ability to seamlessly blend into both residential and contract settings. This collection embodies Vistosi's design philosophy, where technological innovation, quality construction, and aesthetic research come together in a project of timeless elegance.
