LIFE

Under development at Itens since 2021, the VIDA collection takes its definitive form in 2025, bringing a breathtaking luminous composition. The result of the union of Itens' DNA and style with the talent, research, and observation of Rio Grande do Sul designer Mariana Prestes, the collection is also presented as an installation through the creative direction of Mariana Amaral.

In her first authorial lighting collection, Mariana Prestes chose to honor the Yellow Cardinal, an endangered bird found exclusively in southern Brazil.

Its feeding is facilitated by the peculiar activity of the region, representing the balance between man's relationship with nature - a necessary coexistence.

With intersecting straight lines, the VIDA lighting elements represent, on one side, the rational, the human being; on the other, nature, symbolized by the point of light, just as with sunrise and sunset. Its organic lines create an elegant undulation, recalling the curves of the Pampa biome's rolling hills.

"The harmony of this encounter comes from the human-nature balance. This, for me, is VIDA. Creating with Itens 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 means joining a selection of the best in structural design," explains Mariana Prestes.
