Sculptural Sensations by RAIN
Beautifully Bold
Sao Paolo based architect Ricardo Innecco and product designer Mariana Ramos work together as RAIN, where they have created a collection of furniture, lighting and accessories which showcase the striking beauty of minimalist sculptural shapes.
There is monumental boldness in the Arco lamps and Chains wall sculpture, in stark contrast to the super minimalist Ferrao wall light, which looks almost like a "slash" painting by Lucio Fontana. We also like the sculptural quality of the Babel tables, the Horizon bench's play on perspective as well as the surreal humour of the Swimming Pool tables and the Spheres chest of drawers. Sculptural style has never looked so chic.

Product Inspiration
Make a design statement with bold sculptural shapes such as the Victoria and Albert sofa from Moroso, the Bonnie & Clyde coffee table from Dooq and the Ming chair from Stellar Works.
The striking Monaco suspension light from Utu is a great way to create a focal point, as is the Agatha suspension light from LZF. The sculptural good looks of the Kizu table lamp from New Works shows that simple can be beautiful too.
For super sculptural accessories look no further than the Heirloom vase from Moustache, the Joe & Ema vase from Ghidini 1961 and the Monuments magazine holder from Menu.
