		Stchu-moon by Catellani & Smith Enzo Catellani The Stchu-moon collection, designed in 1997 by Enzo Catellani for Catellani & Smith, separates the light source from the illuminating object, thereby making it acquire an independent aesthetic value. The refraction of the light here meets irregular surfaces: objects crafted by hand and therefore unique and unrepeatable.

		Luce Nera by Catellani & Smith Enzo Catellani Luce Nera, Black Light by Catellani & Smith, reexamines Catellani's way of thinking about the object-lamp.
