]]> ‘Fare Lume’ is an exhibition showcasing items dedicated to the most traditional form of light, the candle.
Presented by Italian lighting company Foscarini and curated by Beppe Finessi, the pieces on display range in items from photographs, drawings, sculptures and interactive installations. The designed objects and contemporary artworks deal with a subject that has spanned the centuries and which continues to evolve to this present day. Projects by Marcel Wanders, Philip Starck, and Jean-Marie Massaud also have their works featured in the show.
