Il Fanale in Barcelona
Il Fanale makes lights from brass, copper and iron and finishes the metal by oxidation. It carries on after installation: the light’s colour changes over time.
Fausto Dalla Torre and Luisa Martin opened the workshop near Treviso in 1979; Tomas and Marzia Dalla Torre run the factory now. The metal is worked by hand: shaped, turned, soldered, polished. Murano glass and Bassano ceramics come from other craftsmen.
