“Fabula is a softer soul, an intertwining of the elements of water and air that render its enveloping design mysterious and suggestive.” — description of Costantino Morosin’s Fabula suspension lamp
Costantino Morosin was born in the Veneto region of italy in 1950, and attended the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Venezia, graduating in scenography in 1975.
For years, he worked as a documentarian in Sub-Saharan Africa with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and with the World Wildlife Foundation. In 1980, he moved back to Italy, finally settling in Rome, where he began a weekly cultural journal, “Time Out: What's on in Rome. ”
As a designer, Costantino was one of the first in Italy to create digital images and interpolations, including artistic holograms. His creative style involves experimentation with cross-media and technology. For a time, his work focused on the natural world — in the mid-1980s, he began to experiment with materials extracted from the medieval quarter of Calcata, near Rom.
Throughout the the 80s and 90s, he began to build unique sculptures built with tuff, rock, glass, and terracotta. In 1996, working together with Anne Demyttenaere, he founded the Opera Bosco Art Museum.
Costantino is also a product designer. In 2016, he designed the Fabula suspension lamp for Slamp: “Fabula is a softer soul, an intertwining of the elements of water and air that render its enveloping design mysterious and suggestive. It is made by hand, using interlinking pieces of Lentiflex, which in reflecting the internal light source, give it the look of a long and soft silk ribbon. ”
