The arches that form the porticoes of Via Roma are an important symbol of Turin.A reference point, a model of style and design.
The arches construct the space. Light reveals it.
For the company RIMANI, the porticoes and arches of this work are transformed from architectural elements into a lighting device. Via Roma is not just form: it is rhythm, depth, perspective, and repetition—all fundamental principles in lighting design as well.
The arches of the porticoes create a rhythmic sequence of solids and voids. When illuminated, each arch becomes a frame for light. Just as the arches of Via Roma define the space, light reveals its rhythm and depth. Lighting becomes the tool that transforms architecture into an experience. Light is the invisible arch that unites the space.
Via Roma is one of the most perspective-driven streets in Turin: the arches guide the gaze toward infinity.
The same thing happens with light: light guides the eye, constructing direction and depth.
Light creates the perspective of architecture.
The arches of Via Roma are a sequence of thresholds.
Each arch is a passage between shadow and light.
Lighting is not merely functional: it is what makes architecture visible.
This clutch bag is the result of a dialogue between art and light.
The work Via Roma, created by the artist Marzia Boaglio, lives here in a limited edition for RIMANI.
Each piece is signed by the artist and accompanied by the company logo, testifying to a collaboration that unites aesthetic vision and the culture of light.
