Occhi, the Italian word for eye, captures a curiosity for what is seen. Defined by an interplay of circular and linear forms, the collection pairs metal-cased cylindrical bodies with signature solid cast-glass discs, each distinguished by a raised linear strip detail, and a softly tumbled, satin-frosted face.

Now, acclaimed Australian lighting design studio Articolo expands the collection with three new additions, each offering a fresh way to experience the collection’s distinctive geometry and light: the Occhi Horizontal pendant, the Occhi Fixed wall sconce and the Occhi Rotate wall sconce.
The Occhi Horizontal pendant is a made-to-order piece, featuring signature Occhi elements carefully balanced along perpendicular solid brass rods, showcasing Articolo’s refined engineering. “The Horizontal pendant was conceived to respond to the individuality of each space it inhabits,” Articolo creative director Nicci Kavals says. “The process begins with an understanding of the proportions of the space, the desired presence of the light and how it will interact with its surroundings. From there, the pendant can be tailored in length and suspension height to suit the scale of the project, whether over a dining table or a larger architectural volume.”
Pairing handcrafted glass with fine metalwork, the Occhi Fixed wall sconce can function as an up or downlight for interiors and exteriors alike. “Material selections, finishes and technical detailing are adapted for exterior conditions, though these adjustments are resolved within the same visual language,” Kavals explains. “The intention is that the pieces feel equally at home within an interior setting or against an architectural façade, creating moments of atmosphere and softness regardless of their context.

Featuring the same elegant silhouette as the Fixed wall sconce, the Occhi Rotate wall sconce introduces a full 360-degree rotation, ideal for intimate settings. “The engineering of the Occhi Rotate wall sconce is complex, yet visually there is a refined simplicity,” Kavals says. “The rotation becomes a considered gesture rather than a technical feature, enabling the light to shift and adapt while maintaining the stillness and restraint that characterise the collection.”
With these additions, Occhi continues to explore volume, texture and illumination, offering adaptable, concentrated pieces that remain true to the collection’s signature geometry and confident presence.
