Valveola is a hanging ceramic lamp, with a changing shape as well as an adjustable height and beam of light. The underlying purpose of such a design is to consider the ceramic object as something that is suspended, lightweight and, above all, capable of creating a daily relationship with whoever uses it. In fact, the two reflecting panels (linked to each other by a small magnet) can be rotated to adjust the light beam and make them become two valves, that can be almost totally closed or open like two petals. Thus, Valveola moves in the space of the room where it is installed, changing its appearance, opening and closing itself, and using light to outline its environment.
