GOLDEN FLEECE INSTALLATION

THE PALAZZO BAGATTI VALSECCHI IS ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING, RENAISSANCE STYLE HISTORICAL PALACES IN MILAN. THIS YEAR, AS PART OF A PALAZZO DELLE MERAVIGLIE GROUP EVENT, KAIA LIGHTING TOGETHER WITH AMY SOMERVILLE WILL BE TAKING OVER THE IMPRESSIVE SALA DA PRANZO TAPESTRIED DINING ROOM. IN A RESPONSE TO THE MESMERISING ENVIRONMENT, KAIA HAS WOVEN ITS OWN MASTER PIECE - A STRIKING CENTRE PIECE CHANDELIER - THE GOLDEN FLEECE. THE MUNICH BASED DESIGNER MARKUS BENESCH LOOKED FOR INSPIRATION IN THE GREEK METHODOLOGY OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE. THE MYTH IS KNOWN, THAT A PRINCE NAMED PHRIXUS WAS GIVEN A GOLDEN RAM AS A GIFT FROM THE KING OF GODS, ZEUS. WHEN THE GOLDEN RAM DIED PHRIXUS WOVE THE MOST MAGNIFICENT AND PRECIOUS DRAPERY OF ALL - THE GOLDEN FLEECE. USING SIMPLE YET REFINED RAW BRASS ELEMENTS, THIS INSTALLATION PUSHES THE BOUNDARIES OF BRASS MANUFACTURING AND LATEST LED TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE AN INTERWOVEN PIECE, WHICH CELEBRATES A NEWLY CREATED MAGNIFICENT CHANDELIER WITH RIGOROUS ARCHITECTURAL FORMS.
