Series Description

Introducing the Cassola+Cassola, one of our most iconic and admired lamps, celebrated by design and fashion connoisseurs alike. Its striking form, composed of two stacked spheres, reveals the charm of hand-sculpted clay, showcasing subtle bends and unique markings that lend it character and depth. Hand signed at the bottom of the lamp. 

The Cassola+Cassola is more than just a source of light—it’s a bold statement piece. Its oversized lampshade casts a soft, diffused glow, filling the room with a cozy warmth while providing ample illumination. The adjustable lampshade tilts for versatility and can be customized with or without a fringed edge, adapting easily to various styles and needs. Multiple glaze colors are also available to suit any decor.

Named after the town of Cassola, near our atelier in Veneto, this lamp embodies the spirit of its namesake. Cassola, meaning "house alone," evokes the image of a single, storied home nestled in a wooded landscape—a concept that resonates with the individuality and presence of this piece. Much like a solitary house in open space, the Cassola+Cassola commands attention in any room, feeling almost like the presence of a person. Each lamp is hand-sculpted and distinct, bringing not only light but also warmth, personality, and a connection to the artist’s craft.

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.
