About ARTICOLO STUDIOS
With showrooms in Melbourne Australia, New York city Articolo Studios is a reflection of found and creative director Nicci Kavals’ passion for producing contemporary lighting of sophistication, international appeal and outstanding quality.
Articolo has been exploring the art of light since 2012, approaching design with meticulous care – bearing functionality and an enduring aesthetic equally in mind, and intent on dissolving the boundaries between design, art and architecture.
Articolo is founded by a commitment to artisanal workmanship, working closely with master artisans around the world to nurture a profound regard for their skills. Each Articolo piece embodies their expertise, displaying the inherently appealing nuances of mouth-blown glass and handcart metal, and casting light in unique patters to effect superbly subtle shadow-play.
Raised within a highly creative family and immersed in the design world from the earliest stages of her career, Nicci Kavals established Articolo in 2010.
The studio is the culmination of many years’ international experience in food styling and interior and product design, during which Nicci became increasingly fascinated by the ephemeral qualities of light, and intent on creating artisanal lighting of enduring aesthetic appeal and uncompromising functionality.
As her designs evolve, several constants remain – an organic, intuitive design process, a profound respect for the unique beauty of hand-worked natural materials, and partnerships with master practitioners who are integral to the meticulous crafting of the Articolo range.
