Lucas Zito, Light Left On
Alessandro
Lucas Zito’s work is shaped by use before it is shaped by context. Each piece enters a space with a clear role and remains present through repetition. Light is switched on and left on. Furniture is moved, touched, leaned on. Nothing asks to be interpreted.
The Buoy lamps are placed directly on the floor, upright and steady. Despite their height, they feel light when handled. One person can move them without effort, adjusting their position as the room changes throughout the day. In the morning, the lamp stays near the window. In the evening, it shifts closer to where people sit. The glow is soft and dimmable, designed to hold a room rather than draw attention to itself. Once placed, it becomes part of the daily routine.
Patch furniture introduces a different rhythm. Tables and lamps reveal the stages of their making through surface and joint. These details are not emphasized, but they remain visible over time. A coffee table supports books, cups, hands resting briefly. The surface wears evenly. Nothing is hidden, nothing is precious.
All of Zito’s pieces are designed and made with attention to material limits and production stages. Recycled plastics are used carefully, only where needed. The result is furniture and lighting that integrates easily into everyday life, holding its place through consistency, balance, and quiet utility.
