Nicci’s vision is ever evolving, working alongside a global network of makers to craft pieces with true artisanal materiality and a distinctive design language.
INDOOR COLLECTIONS
Articolo Indoor collections honour simplicity of form and materiality, creating an enduring, timeless aesthetic. Imbuing each design with soulful poeticism, we elevate lighting with a design philosophy characterised by subtlety, proportion and a luxurious pairing of materials.
When lit, Articolo’s sophisticated forms cast orchestral movement in an unparalleled play of light, harmonising with the surrounding interior while embodying both a sculptural and functional purpose.

A celebration of simplicity of form, materiality and an enduring, timeless aesthetic. Imbuing each design with soulful poeticism, we elevate lighting to an art form with a design philosophy characterised by subtlety, proportion and a luxurious pairing of materials.
As a team, we collaborate with a close network of crafts men and women whose skill and talent we deeply respect. Our love for the artisanal nature of materiality in its different forms, from the nuances of mouth-blown glass to solid metals, ceramics, stone and leather, is reflected in the human element of generational artisans whose value cannot be replicated through mass production.
OUTDOOR COLLECTIONS
The inherently sculptural forms and defining hallmarks of Articolo transcend seamlessly from indoor to outdoor spaces, creating atmospheric enhancement within organic and built exteriors, with subtlety, scale and sublime artisanal craftsmanship.
Outdoor collections capture the design intention of our established body work through simplicity of form, materiality and an enduring aesthetic appeal, while being re-engineered to withstand outdoor environments.
