“TRADIZIONE” LAMP BY JONATHAN BOCCA – A SCULPTURAL MASTERPIECE IN RECYCLED PAPER

“TRADIZIONE” IS A UNIQUE LIGHTING PIECE ENTIRELY CRAFTED FROM RECYCLED PAPER, DESIGNED TO REEVALUATE AND ELEVATE THIS HUMBLE MATERIAL. CREATED BY TUSCAN SCULPTURAL DESIGNER JONATHAN BOCCA (B. 1998, LUCCA), THE LAMP EMBODIES HIS COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE DESIGN. AFTER STUDYING INTERIOR AND FURNITURE DESIGN AT IED IN FLORENCE AND RESEARCHING MATERIALS AT FABRICA IN TREVISO, BOCCA DEVELOPED AN INNOVATIVE PROCESS TO TRANSFORM INDUSTRIAL PAPER WASTE FROM HIS HOMETOWN INTO A DURABLE, ORGANIC, AND SCULPTURAL MEDIUM. HIS WORK ADVOCATES FOR A DESIGN PHILOSOPHY THAT ELIMINATES NON-RECYCLABLE MATERIALS, GIVING NEW LIFE TO DISCARDED RESOURCES.

DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM DREAMS AND CULTURAL HERITAGE, “TRADIZIONE” EXPLORES REGIONAL TRADITIONS TO CREATE SOMETHING TRULY INNOVATIVE. IT REFLECTS THE IDEA THAT WHERE WE COME FROM SHAPES OUR IDENTITY, AND OUR SURROUNDINGS INFLUENCE OUR CREATIVE EXPRESSION. BY STUDYING LOCAL CUSTOMS AND BLENDING THEM WITH MODERN DESIGN, BOCCA TRANSFORMS TRADITIONAL ELEMENTS INTO CONTEMPORARY, OTHERWORLDLY FORMS. THIS APPROACH NOT ONLY CELEBRATES DIVERSITY BUT ALSO REDEFINES THE ROLE OF WASTE MATERIALS IN ART AND DESIGN.

STUDIO HAAG, USUALLY SPECIALIZING IN VINTAGE LIGHTING, IS PROUD TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR THIS EXTRAORDINARY MODERN PIECE. WE FULLY SUPPORT BOCCA’S VISION OF SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND HIS ABILITY TO TURN DISCARDED MATERIALS INTO FUNCTIONAL SCULPTURAL ART. ONLY 9 TRADIZIONE’S FROM THE FIRST EDITION WERE MADE. THIS IS NUMBER 3, MAKING IT A VERY RARE LAMP. IN PERFECT CONDITION, “TRADIZIONE” IS A TESTAMENT TO THE FUTURE OF DESIGN—WHERE HERITAGE MEETS INNOVATION, AND WASTE BECOMES BEAUTY.
