Antonio Cagianelli is a young architect, born in Pisa in 1964. In 1990 he settled in Paris, where he began developing three dimensional art, creating objects made of transparent materials reflecting characteristics such as an ephemeral nature and vanity. The body of the “ Lightness” basket, taking its inspiration from the highly mechanical washer, is made up of many washers which, instead of being welded together, are obtained by fretworking the steel disc.
