Luca Martorano & Mattia Albicini
"The Calle pendant light collection merges Terzani’s decorative approach with a refined, clean, and pure design. The inverted flute of crystal, like the calla lily it mimics, can be grouped into stunning and always different bouquets of light.”
Luca Martorano was born in 1980 in Bressanone, Italy. His early passion for painting and design led him to follow an artistic path. In 1999, Luca moved to Milan to attend the Architecture and Design Faculty at Politecnico, where he studied under Enzo Mari, Andrea Branzi, and Ezio Manzini.
In 2005, he obtained a M. Sc. degree magna cum laude with a thesis on sustainable transports in collaboration with ATM S. p. a. The following year, the same project was selected and presented at MoMa in New York for the exhibition “Milano Made in Design”. After graduating, he started designing products for Italian bicycle companies like Bianchi, Cinelli, and Columbus. From there, he continued to work in the fields of sport, electrical appliances, and furniture.
In 2008, Luca met Mattia Albicini while working together on a design project. Born in Milan, Mattia received a Master’s degree in Industrial Design at Politecnico di Madrid in 2006. He worked as a product designer in Italy and Australia, creating lighting, furniture, home and automotive appliances. He opened his own studio in Milan in 2012.
Luca and Mattia quickly discovered a strong synergy between them, and established a deep friendship beyond their professional activity. Since 2012, they have been working together between Bolzano and Milan, Florence and Venice. Their common passion and their functional vision of design, which equally combines technique and style, tradition and innovation, has led them to conduct projects in a wide range of fields. Their eclectic production is characterized by a clean style and is based on deep research on technical or natural materials, and on innovative and traditional techniques.
Together, Luca and Mattia designed the Calle and Shar Pei lighting collections for Terzani.
