Soffi. The purity of light and glass blown by skilful Venetian artisans. GamFratesi’s minimalist design captures the exact moment in which the blowing technique gives the glass its form. Delicate and irregular globes seem to emerge from a slim saddle-leather strap, suspended in space by gravity. Soffi lamps consist of two elements, both in blown glass. The outer globe, ethereal and almost weightless, is in faded milk white or smoky grey tones. Inside, the light fitting, in matt white blown glass with a pearl finish, is visibly more solid. The light produced by the lamp is evenly diffused and exalts the faded colour of the external glass and its gradual transparency. A magical and harmonious effect, perfect in various settings, made even more evocative by the unique nature of every Soffi lamp. The blowing of body-tinted glass produces different nuances and irregularities in the shape of the light. The refined Cuoio Saddle Extra leather strap is available in two finishes, Camel or Taupe, with contrasting stitching and tone-on-tone raw-edge seams. A saddle-leather loop conceals the joint of the strap. The Poltrona Frau logo is branded on the strap. All internal metal parts of the Soffi lamps feature a natural brass finish. The roses are in white painted steel with adjustable transparent cables. The Soffi collection includes three sizes of lights - small, medium and large - which can be combined in different configurations. As well as the single lamps, linear compositions with three globes and bunch compositions with three or five globes are also possible. The chandelier composition consists of two concentric rings of different diameters, covered in Saddle Extra leather, which accommodate nine medium-sized lights, six on the larger circle and three on the smaller inner circle.

Understanding a tradition and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it. From this cross-cultural substrate they create furniture that respectfully reflects tradition while also featuring unique embedded stories, symbols and associations, often expressed in a minimalist idiom.
