Albero della Luce
Made by Catellani & Smith
Designed by Enzo Catellani
Albero della Luce, Italian for "tree of light," originates from the Turciù series, the very first collection conceived by Enzo Catellani. It marks the point where his sensibility for craft, gesture, and material warmth first took form.
Thirty-six brass flex arms rise from a waxed rough iron base, each one poseable by hand. The act of shaping the lamp is itself part of the design: no two configurations are alike, and the composition can be revised at will. Each arm carries a warm 2700K E14 LED source, casting pools of amber light that shift as the arms move.
- Waxed rough iron base, 53 x 53 cm
- Brass flex arm structure, 163 cm stem
- Variable total height from 280 to 300 cm
- Thirty-six E14 LED bulbs at 2700K
- Wireless dimming control
The result is a presence that reads as both sculpture and atmosphere, suited to grand residential interiors, hotel lobbies, and architectural spaces where scale and warmth are equally considered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the brass arms be reshaped after installation?
Yes. Each of the thirty-six brass flex arms is designed to be bent and repositioned by hand at any point, so the lamp's silhouette can be adjusted freely over time without any tools or professional assistance.
What is the Turciù series and its significance?
Turciù was Enzo Catellani's inaugural collection, the body of work in which he first developed his signature approach to handcrafted metalwork and flexible light structures. The series established the design language that would define Catellani & Smith for decades.
How does the wireless dimming system work?
Albero della Luce includes a wireless dimming control that adjusts the intensity of all thirty-six LED sources simultaneously, allowing the atmosphere of the room to be modulated without wall switches or wired infrastructure.
What ceiling height is recommended for this floor lamp?
With a variable height of 280 to 300 cm, the piece performs best in spaces with ceilings of at least 310 to 320 cm, ensuring the uppermost arms read freely without visual compression against the ceiling plane.
Is Albero della Luce made by hand in Italy?
Yes. The piece is produced in Italy by Catellani & Smith, a studio known for handcrafting each fixture individually. The waxed iron base and brass flex structure both bear the material character that comes from artisanal production rather than industrial uniformity.
