The Prize

Big FL/Y Kartell lamp hand decorated by Elisa Macellari.

Big Fl/Y is an essentially-styled suspension lamp designed by Ferruccio Laviani. The particular transparency of the material and the sheen of the colours recreate the idea of a soap bubble, shimmering iridiscently in the light. This unique piece has been hand decorated by Elisa Macellari, Italian-Thai illustrator, winner of the 2017 Gold Medal of Authors of Images in the publishing category and of the Silver Medal 2019 in the comic category. She works for publishing houses and magazines including The New York Times, Il Sole 24 Ore, 7 Corriere della Sera, Donna Moderna, Mondadori, Feltrinelli, Einaudi. She is also the author of the graphic novel “Papaya Salad” published by BAO Publishing.

The Big FL/Y lamp decorated by Elisa Macellari is one of the 8 iconic Kartell objects customized by Illustri, the Italian association of illustrators, for Casa Illustri, an initiative promoted by Eataly Milano Smeraldo to mark Design Week. The objects will be on display in the store in Piazza XXV Aprile in Milan for the duration of the auction.

The Cause

Caritas Ambrosiana is an office of the Archiepiscopal Curia of the Diocese of Milan called the Office for the Pastoral Care of Charity - Caritas Ambrosiana, within the Sector for Mission and Charity.

The proceeds from the auction promoted by Eataly Milano Smeraldo in collaboration with Illustri and Kartell will be donated to the Refettorio Ambrosiano in Milan, a place where solidarity and art meet in the belief that beauty, in all its forms, can become a tool to recognize the profound dignity of the individual.

Managed by Caritas Ambrosiana and a pilot project of Food for Soul, the ONLUS of Chef Massimo Bottura, Refettorio Ambrosiano is a canteen for the disadvantaged that serves quality meals starting from the recovery of food surpluses, in a welcoming place curated by architects, designers, artists and design houses to ensure that the meal is a moment of restoration not only for the body, but also for the soul.
