Lunaria, from the <strong>Latin luna<\/strong> (moon), evokes the honesty flower, a concept built entirely on reflected, indirect, and atmospheric light. It was a fated premise for the intervention of <a href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/en\/soave-illuminating-ancient-heart-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Catellani &amp; Smith<\/a>, a design house built on the philosophy of refracted light and the separation of the source from the illuminated object. The very name called for a <strong>moon-like solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Matter of History<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The interiors, entrusted to <strong>Willy Calabrese<\/strong> of FGC Loft, are a masterful exercise in conservare innovando\u2014innovating by conserving. The sartorial joinery rejected the white box. Instead, it celebrated the authentic Tuscan materia as the protagonist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The canvas is a rich, <strong>tactile palette<\/strong>: warm terracotta floors, expansive red brick vaulted ceilings, and ancient, load-bearing stone walls. Deeper still, a Cave carved directly from the tuff rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>architectural choice<\/strong> is the project&#8217;s foundational thesis. The architecture is not a passive container, it is an active component of the lighting apparatus. The irregular, porous, and history-laden surfaces are the essential medium. The walls themselves become part of the lamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Poetics of the Artisan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand the light at Lunaria is to understand the mind of <strong>Enzo Catellani<\/strong>. His philosophy, born from spontaneous experiment, rejects industrial uniformity in favor of soul. &#8220;I&#8217;m not a designer,&#8221; he famously states. &#8220;I&#8217;m a person who loves what he does.&#8221; His philosophy centers on &#8220;hands that shape light.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Cave_1.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Cave.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Atrium_3.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                <\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div id=\"tdi_2\" class=\"td-gallery td-slide-on-2-columns\">\r\n                    <div class=\"post_td_gallery\">\r\n                        <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-top\">\r\n                           <div class=\"td-gallery-title\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"td-gallery-controls-wrapper\">\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-count\"><span class=\"td-gallery-slide-item-focus\">1<\/span> of 3<\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-prev-next-but\">\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-left doubleSliderPrevButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-right doubleSliderNextButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n                        <div class = \"td-doubleSlider-1 \">\r\n                            <div class = \"td-slider\">\r\n                                \r\n                    <div class = \"td-slide-item td-item1\">\r\n                        <figure class=\"td-slide-galery-figure td-slide-popup-gallery\">\r\n                            <a class=\"slide-gallery-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Cave_1.jpg\" title=\"Catellani & Smith_Cantina Lunaria_Cave_1\"  data-caption=\"Catellani &amp;

For Catellani &amp; Smith, gold is a conceptual medium, a reflection on the golden light of the sun and fire. The hand-applied gilding, with its deliberately irregular surface, is designed to catch, multiply, and refract light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artistic gold creates a powerful, <strong>three-fold synthesis<\/strong>, echoing the historical golden saffron of San Gimignano, complementing the architectural golden glow of terracotta and the amber hues of wood, and serving as the physical manifestation of Catellani&#8217;s warm, refined atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Scenography of Gold<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>900-square-meter<\/strong> venue is not merely lit; it is curated. The lighting plan by Catellani &amp; Smith is a scenography that guides the visitor on an emotional journey, modulating the atmosphere from the grandly social to the primally intimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Atrium: A Scenographic Welcome<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The grand entrance, an embrace of terracotta, brick, and stone, required a warm, refined atmosphere. The visual hierarchy is immediately established by the protagonist: <strong>Macchina della Luce<\/strong>. The design icon, a reflection on the concepts of colore and calore of light, floats beneath the vaults. Its large discs, lined in gold-colored leaf, project light upwards, activating the brick with a diffuse, golden and poetic light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the mezzanine walls, <strong>PostKrisi 70<\/strong> adds a layer of shadow play. The fiberglass half-spheres, with jagged, fringed edges, splash the rough stone with an evocative interplay of light and shadow. The scenography is completed by the intimate, tactile GiuliettaBE portable lamps and the discreet, theatrical <strong>EC301<\/strong> spotlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Atrium_2.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Atrium.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Atrium_1.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                <\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div id=\"tdi_3\" class=\"td-gallery td-slide-on-2-columns\">\r\n                    <div class=\"post_td_gallery\">\r\n                        <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-top\">\r\n                           <div class=\"td-gallery-title\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"td-gallery-controls-wrapper\">\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-count\"><span class=\"td-gallery-slide-item-focus\">1<\/span> of 3<\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-prev-next-but\">\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-left doubleSliderPrevButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-right doubleSliderNextButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n                        <div class = \"td-doubleSlider-1 \">\r\n                            <div class = \"td-slider\">\r\n                                \r\n                    <div class = \"td-slide-item td-item1\">\r\n                        <figure class=\"td-slide-galery-figure td-slide-popup-gallery\">\r\n                            <a class=\"slide-gallery-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Atrium_2.jpg\" title=\"Catellani & Smith_Cantina Lunaria_Atrium_2\"  data-caption=\"Catellani &amp;

Here, the eye is drawn to the sculptural, hand-worked gold-leaf disc of <strong>Bellatrix<\/strong>. Named for a star in the Orion constellation, the 120 cm wall lamp resembles a golden full moon. Its adjustable light is precisely oriented by a flexible arm to enhance the amber hues of the wood and the curves of the vaulted ceiling. A measured rhythm of custom EC301 spotlights accentuates the architectural procession of the arches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Cave: The Primal Sanctum <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The journey concludes in the winery\u2019s intimate sanctum\u2014a space carved directly into the tuff rock. Here, a single, iconic <strong>Stchu-Moon 01<\/strong> floor lamp creates the conceptual climax. Following Catellani&#8217;s core philosophy of separating the source from the object, the lamp\u2014a matt black hemisphere whose interior is an irregular surface lined with gold coloured leaf\u2014illuminates only itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is pure alchemy. Shimmering golden reflections animate the raw, porous walls of the tuff. The refracted light forms a moonlike light. It is the perfect, intentional poetic statement: the <strong>Stchu-Moon <\/strong>(the moon lamp) inside <strong>Lunaria<\/strong> (the moon venue), creating a quiet atmosphere that invites contemplation.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_4  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Wine-barrels-galleries_1.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_4  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Wine-barrels-galleries.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_4  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Wine-barrels-galleries_2.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                <\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div id=\"tdi_4\" class=\"td-gallery td-slide-on-2-columns\">\r\n                    <div class=\"post_td_gallery\">\r\n                        <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-top\">\r\n                           <div class=\"td-gallery-title\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"td-gallery-controls-wrapper\">\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-count\"><span class=\"td-gallery-slide-item-focus\">1<\/span> of 3<\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-prev-next-but\">\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-left doubleSliderPrevButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-right doubleSliderNextButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n                        <div class = \"td-doubleSlider-1 \">\r\n                            <div class = \"td-slider\">\r\n                                \r\n                    <div class = \"td-slide-item td-item1\">\r\n                        <figure class=\"td-slide-galery-figure td-slide-popup-gallery\">\r\n                            <a class=\"slide-gallery-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Catellani-Smith_Cantina-Lunaria_Wine-barrels-galleries_1.jpg\" title=\"Catellani & Smith_Cantina Lunaria_Wine barrels galleries_1\"  data-caption=\"Catellani &amp;
