Simone Scapini / Railings

Ombre.

Iron draws the line.
Light continues it.

A line takes shape in sheet metal and reappears in its shadow.

The work

One design.
Two presences.

Sheet iron is laser-cut. Lines open, cross and let the gaze pass through. On the terrace, light repeats the design on the stone: the railing enters the space through its shadow, too.

Indoors and outdoors. A project by Simone Scapini.
01 / Up close

The line,
beyond the iron.

Two views of the work: its pattern cast onto the ground and the sheet metal profile against the sky.

A second drawing.

Light passes through the railing and lays its lines across the stone terrace.

The material opens up.

Laser cutting defines the motif in the sheet metal. Up close, the line meets the sky.

From sheet metal
to curve.

The design runs through the material. Workshop photographs show the shaped sheet metal, the curve and the work on each piece: a journey that takes the line from a flat surface into space.

The value
of authenticity.

The works

The works are by Simone Scapini. Collaborators are credited on the relevant project pages, including Cannettato by Luca Zanaroli and Simone Scapini, and Incastro by Massimiliano Bottero and Simone Scapini. Reproducing these works requires the author’s permission.

The images

Images marked “AI photographic study” are editorial interpretations and may alter details of the work or its setting. The links beside them show the original photographs, which remain the reference for the details.

Studies of form

The three-dimensional animations are illustrative studies of line and material. The staircase in the contact section is an original 3D model inspired by the folded metal treads of “Fuori Salone Milano” in the Scapini Design portfolio. It is a study of form, rather than a reconstruction to scale. The Loretta film is an AI interpretation of the original photograph.
