The Brenta+Brenta lamp showcases two tall and robust rectangular forms that together evoke the image of a river meandering through a rugged landscape. Named after the local River Brenta, this lamp reflects the natural movement of water. The river flows through the town of Nove di Bassano before pouring into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. Historically, it served as a crucial waterway for transporting boats filled with ceramics destined for the Venetian markets. The design of the Brenta+Brenta lamp captures this essence, inviting reflections on the river's gentle curves and organic flow.
The standard lampshade is triangular but can be customized into a different shape. Additionally, the lampshade is adjustable and is available with or without fringe.
The Fondamenta, named after the Venetian term for "foundation," is deeply rooted in the tradition and culture of Venice. This project explores the foundational elements of art—both the physical foundations of Venetian architecture and the cultural foundations that shape an artist's work. It reflects Jenna’s commitment to heritage and craftsmanship while reimagining how modern design can rest on these historical foundations. A key aspect of The Fondamenta Project is its collaborative nature. It offers a platform for other creatives to work alongside Jenna, co-creating custom, bespoke pieces. By opening her process to collaboration, Basso Pietrobon allows artists and designers from various fields to contribute their ideas, making each piece a unique expression of shared creativity. This project fosters a blend of traditions and new perspectives, resulting in custom works that embody both the individuality of each collaborator and the timeless elegance of Venetian craftsmanship.
