To Cristiana Giopato and Christopher Coombes design means nding the synthesis between the emotion behind conception and the pragmatism ofinnovation. The study of the behaviour of Iight. of the shapes enhancing its beauty and the technology that allows its existence, is the undation of every project they design. Every collection is characterized by a sophisticated grace, achieved with noble materials and paths of research contaminated and di erent every time. Rationality, that is part of every product and necessary condition r its development, meets intuition and emotion, look g for a constant balance. 


Giopato & Coober research the subject of Ornament and Technology within the lighting field. The designer duo have provokingly questioned the essay by Adolf Loos "Ornament and Crime", where the architect criticizes ornamentation in architecture, considering it childish and useless. 

Is ornament really a crime when supported by technological and functional innovation?

Their conclusions can be found in Via Santa Marta 21, where Cristiana and Christopher present three new lighting projects to interpret this theme.
