5.1 ASYMMETRICAL GRAPHITE BRASS Winner of the 2013 REDDOT Design Award, 5.1 ASYMMETRICAL GRAPHITE BRASS combines a minimalist asymmetrical design with quality and innovation to offer a true “wall jewelry”.

The elegant brass plate and the graphite finish used for the rings and toggle pushbuttons highlight the original avantgarde design of this new switch plate.

From the simplest two-way switch use to more sophisticated purposes, such as dimmers or electric-shutter mechanisms, 5.1 is perfect to create comfortable, pleasant atmospheres.

EPHERA NERA The artist DIVA has created for FONTINI the EPHERA NERA, an organic creation which is a hybrid between bas-relief and lighting elements, almost a mutation of art-work into a lamp.

Inspired by the sinuosity of Ephera, the unknown plant, EPHERA NERA is an acrylic painted luminous silhouette, decorated with Flat Backs Swarovski elements – in jet and jet hematite black-, built on a backlit aluminum board (180 cm x 80 cm). Black adds further mystery and elegance to this original creation.

EPHERA NERA is a free creation that does not follow trends or style but creates them.

It can be integrated in any interior design, minimalistic or classic, offering an intriguing balance of Light & Shadows that mutate, blurring their contrasts.
