LIFE

Since 2021, under study at itens, the VIDA collection will take definitive form in 2025, bringing a breathtaking luminous composition. Born from the union of itens' DNA and style with the talent, research, and observation of Rio Grande do Sul-based designer Mariana Prestes, the collection also presents itself as an installation through artworks under the creative direction of Mariana Amaral.

In her first original lighting collection, Mariana Prestes chose to pay homage to the Yellow Cardinal, a bird found exclusively in southern Brazil.

Their food supply is facilitated by the unique activities of the region, representing the balance between man and nature – a necessary coexistence.

With straight lines that meet, the VIDA lighting fixtures represent, on one side, the rational, the human being; on the other, nature, symbolized by the point of light, just as occurs with sunrise and sunset. Their organic lines create an elegant undulation, reminiscent of the curves of the rolling hills of the Pampa biome.

"The harmony of this encounter occurs through the balance between man and nature. That, for me, is LIFE. Creating with these items is an honor, as I am alongside a brand with excellence in lighting, which represents and supports Brazilian creativity under the direction and curation of Mariana Amaral. Being part of this team of professionals I admire is like joining a selection of the best in structural design," explains Mariana Prestes.
