About the Item
Freno floor lamp by Caio Superchi
Dimensions: D 40 x W 22 x H 160 cm
Materials: Steel, Wood, Ceramic
All our lamps can be wired according to each country. If sold to the USA it will be wired for the USA for instance.
The challenge was: How to rethink something that changed an entire industry and transform it into a functional design piece? From the first ones made of wood to modern ceramics , in between there is the steel brake. A mechanism so widely used that we allow ourselves to almost forget it. Using design to pay homage to function is the answer to the challenge. "Freno" is born out of the desire to adapt a motorcycle steel brake to a lamp. The brake maintains its purpose by acting as a stopping mechanism for the magnetic wooden clamp of the lamp, which can rotate in a full circle.
Caio Superchi is an artist and craftsman born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who discovered woodworking at the age of 22 as well as the purpose of his work:
Designing forms that exalt function using light, repurposed wood and other materials. An interpretation on the meaning of transformation. Growing up, he was influenced by his father to think about the function of objects and to see beyond that, to see what other things they could become. When he started as an apprentice in a woodworking shop, he found wood to be the perfect material to bring his ideas to life. After starting the Superchi Studio as a means to unite what he learned with what he imagined, the pieces created by the studio have been shown in several exhibitions in Latin America and Europe, the continent that welcomed him when he decided to transform and rethink himself in another city: Lisbon, Portugal.
That is where he is currently based and produces all the pieces. In this new stage of his life, Caio worked and perfected traditional woodworking techniques while making and restoring classic furniture. This has now allowed him to concentrate on lamp making and explore new concepts and ideas. Nothing is created from nothing. Transformation is the central idea and goal behind the Studio pieces. The rethinking and repurposing of form and function allows us to see this process, while maintaining the object's and materials original story.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
