Ledera by Cini Boeri introduced in Corso Como 10
On September 13, 2015 at 7.30 p.m. in Milan, in Corso Como 10 at the Carla Sozzani Gallery, the Ledera lamp was introduced in front of a large audience of design enthusiasts, art experts, journalists and important figures.
LEDERA was created a few years ago in the brilliant mind of Maria Cristina Mariani Dameno, better known as Cini Boeri – an important figure of national and international architecture and design – award winner for her work and for her long and distinguished career. One day, while observing a branch of ivy climbing on the roof of her house she had a brilliant idea. She imagined that the branches could become sinuous light sources.
The idea remained as such for quite some time until we were contacted for a feasibility assessment and immediately scheduled a meeting with architect Cini Boeri at his studio in Milan. We all remember that meeting: a greeting at the door as if we had known each other forever, a quick no-nonsense presentation, and then we got straight down to business. After an hour of technical discussions, reasoning, questions, and answers, we took the decision to try to make the lamp, convinced also by the architect’s overwhelming enthusiasm.
In a few months Cini Boeri’s idea became reality: LEDERA was created, a lamp that turns the power of nature into the energy of light.
It’s September 13th, 10.30 p.m., the event is about to end. We finish the interview for Sky Arte, we welcome a few more guests who curiously ask us questions and then, when everything calms down and we are alone, we turn off the lamp, satisfied with the result and convinced that we had a great idea and created an excellent product.
