Two frames with a geometric and essential shapes. Two different figures that can be installed on the ceiling or on the wall, individually or together to create compositions of two or more elements. Inside, the white satin-finish diffuser hides the LED, which provides diffused, glare-free light. Tier is the new collection of wall and ceiling lamps by Vistosi that transforms two elementary shapes, the line and the circle, into a design object that can also become a βcustomised designβ on the wall. Tier was born from the creativity of Luca De Bona (architect) and Dario De Meo (designer), co-founders of Studio Debonademeo, to tell a βnewβ Vistosi, in the sign of simplicity and essentiality. It is no coincidence that the genesis of Tier is inspired by a particular moment of childhood: the two designers imagined going back to childhood, to the time when mothers allowed them to express their creativity and trace a few pencil marks on a white wall; they intertwined those lines and transformed them into three-dimensional elements, vectors of light: a white satin diffuser with LED source, embraced by a rectangle with rounded corners in painted brass. Tier leaves room for freedom and puts space in the foreground, to give every room the light it needs: it gives the possibility to use the lamp individually or to weave and overlap the lines (hence the name Tier, which in English means βlayer, levelβ) to create infinite compositions on the wall. Games of shapes that make the lamp no longer βjustβ a functional element or a light source, but a true furnishing element. The metal rings duplicate themselves always starting from a fixed point, the diffuser, which is available in two sizes (with a diameter of 42 and 55 cm) in order to ensure the right lighting for every room. Tier is thus transformed into a constellation or, going further with the imagination, into a solar system: the Sun, the light at the centre, and around it the planets with their satellites. The collection has a fixed point, light, but looks far ahead, just like the Vistosi brand, which wants to introduce a new vision of Murano glass, transforming it from a central element, which must necessarily attract the gaze, to a precious material that can express the best of itself and furnish the environment while remaining βbehind the scenesβ. The Tier collection, in fact, is not designed to catalyse attention and impose itself in the environment, but to accompany the light and, with its simplicity, βdesignβ the wall on which it is installed.

It is rare for a company to be able to tell the stages of such a long history. In fact, Vistosi was born in the last millennium, almost six centuries ago in the cradle that gave birth to the most referenced glass masters in this now almost lost artisan art. Vistosi today is a 2.0 craft industry with one of the largest owned glass mills in Europe, an in-house research and development department, an workshop, and a network of established and qualified local suppliers. Definitely one of the few companies where the value chain is managed to guarantee constant product quality. In fact, if Made in Italy is still one of the most successful brands today, it is thanks to companies like Vistosi that have managed to innovate without penalising product quality.
Luca De Bona and Dario De Meo founded the Debonademeo studio with offices in Padua and Milan. A dual perspective that characterises projects aimed at overcoming form-function dualism by enriching it with expressive value. Micro and macro scale research that reinterprets and merges the various fields of architecture, design, graphics and art to create artefacts and contexts capable of telling stories and inducing emotions. Declaring the hic et nunc as their methodological manifesto, they link different signals from the past and present to translate them into creative strategies in an innovative approach to brand identity, art direction and product design.
