Simone Scapini’s sculptural fireplace opens into a hood of forged ribbons and extends towards the ceiling. Curved rods wrap around it without enclosing it: light passes through the gaps and casts their shadows on the wall.

Two distances from which to read the design: the rising curve and the material of the hood.
