Venus in Lycra

Venus is the new SERVOMUTO lamp collection designed by Serena Confalonieri.
The pendants are inspired by the sinuosity of the female body and made of metal and lycra.
Just like the human body, the fabric is imagined as a dress to be worn and changed at will, dressing and undressing the forms in a game of seduction.
Initially called 'K-fibre', Lycra was born in the 1950s and immediately became part of ladies' everyday life: containment girdles, stockings, swimwear up to the catwalks where it has made a comeback in recent years.
Perfect as a covering because of its elasticity, ideal in lighting because of its transparency, this material has also been experimented in furniture by some of the great masters of 20th century design.
In line with Servomuto's DNA, the project combines the lighting technology part with an important decorative value and a creative irony shared by the designer and the company.
The installation, entitled Venus in Lycra, refers to the film 'Venus in Fur' erotic drama by Roman Polanski, imagined in a multicoloured and ironic key.
Playing with the elasticity of the material, the set recreates a sort of stage, where the lamps are dressed and mirrored, vain and winking.
