Mirei’s newest and most ambitious design to date debuted at Wanted Design / ICFF 2023.
Providing soft light in an organic and unique design, the Supernova Chandelier draws its inspiration from the interstellar clouds of dust and gas. Entirely handcrafted of Banaca (banana-abaca), a fiber from the Philippines woven by a community of weavers in the province of Bicol, the voluminous flowing shape is created by hand and can be remodeled according to one's liking and style thanks to its pliant quality. This lamp received several press mentions in May of 2023.
Dimensions: 39’’ H x 79’’ W
Production Lead Time: 10 weeks.
Costantini is proud to represent Mirei Monticelli since 2019.
About Mirei Monticelli:
Mirei is a Milan-based multidisciplinary designer who started her career in her birthplace, the Philippines. Working from her roots has exposed her to the world of traditional manufacturing and production of furniture, where everything is made by hand. This environment exposed her to the beautiful world of artisan crafts, but then gave her the yearning to explore state-of-the-art techniques that come from the western world. Graduating from Politecnico di Milano in 2017 with a degree in Design and Engineering has given her more experience in the technical point of view. Her work spans product design, interior design, creative consultancy and art direction.
