The Treviso lamp is a small table lamp with a distinctive design. Part of the Merz series, the clay is partially dried and then intentionally broken, revealing sharp, fractured edges, in contrast to the softer tears seen in other Break the Mold pieces. The lamp is compatible with either an E14 bulb or an LED diode upon request, with adapters available for easy installation in different countries.
The base of the Treviso features a rough texture, made from soft clay remnants collected during production. These discarded clay pieces are placed between the base and the form, adding material depth and character to the lamp. This raw detail complements the more broken, rugged design of the upper portion, creating a striking contrast between the soft, malleable clay and the bold, fractured elements.
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.
