The undeniable romance of the moonlight is the seed from which this collection grew.
The light of the Moon carries an ethereal beauty and sense of mystery, an impression
of this we have recreated by focusing on frosted glass and gentle swirling glass textures
which evoke the meditative calm and enchanting character of this celestial body.
Moonlight embraces the spirit and energy of the much-treasured composition ‘Clair de
Lune’ by French composer Claude Debussy, which in turn embodies poetic references
of the still moonlight; sad and lovely. While the collection is in many ways a pastiche
of different elements of various artistic outlets, we wanted it to remain true to the
Bella Figura signature style, highly finished metal work with hand-made glass elements
and luxurious silk all designed and produced in England and Italy. Art Deco influences
emerge throughout this collection which further complement the romanticism of the
moonlit look, with reworked motifs and ideas from the era, bringing 1920’s style into
2020 and beyond.
Bella Figura has long been an avid supporter of Italian and British craftsmanship and
in recent times has sought out and focused upon the best of our homegrown talent,
championing English blown glass and crystal, metalsmiths and lampshade makers
across the breadth of the UK. The Moonlight Collection remains engaged with our
long adored and most adept Italian masters of creation, whilst showcasing the skill
and finesse of our most dedicated British craftsmen and women, all of whom possess
attention to detail you can feel in each and every piece.
