Catellani & Smith illuminates the exclusive Phi Beach<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A jewel of the Costa Smeralda, Phi Beach in Baja Sardinia, Italy, is a location of rare beauty, set against the stunning backdrop of the Napoleonic Fortress of Forte Cappellini, just a short distance from the renowned Porto Cervo.
\nPhi Beach is a breathtaking venue overlooking the sea and surrounded by rocky formations that blends seamlessly into the natural landscape. It features a private beach furnished with comfortable sunbeds and canopied loungers, a beach bar, and two restaurants\u2014one offering a gourmet experience with Mediterranean cuisine, the other with a more casual and lighter menu.
\nPhi Beach is renowned for hosting top international DJs and exclusive events, as well as being the perfect location to admire one of the most beautiful sunsets in Sardinia. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sea turns into a golden expanse, offering guests a mesmerizing spectacle of nature.<\/p>\n
This enchanting scene continues into the evening, when Catellani & Smith lamps illuminate the space. Nestled among the granite rocks\u2014where guests can sit and enjoy the breathtaking view\u2014are two Fil de Fer Outdoor lamps in 100 cm diameter, one in natural aluminium and the other in anodized gold finish. A customized version of Fil de Fer complements the luminous spheres, tracing the contours of the rock with its intricate glow, creating a magical effect in the Premium tables area of one of the Phi Beach\u2019s restaurants.
\nOn the large dining table, the ambiance is further enhanced by Giulietta BE portable, battery- operated, and wireless lamps, in vintage brass finish. These lamps light up and can be dimmed with a simple touch.<\/p>\n
Giulietta BE also illuminates the tables of the panoramic restaurant, where large windows open onto the sea, offering an unforgettable view.
\nThe atmosphere is further enhanced by Lederam Manta S2 suspension lamps, selected in the black fiberglass version with gold-coloured leaf finish in their interior. These lamps feature aluminium discs covered in the same gold-coloured finish, housing an integrated LED module, which is replaceable.<\/p>\n
The visual impact of the space is striking, thanks to the lighting effect created by Bellatrix, the new lamp by Catellani & Smith. This stunning aluminium disc, with a diameter of 120 cm, has an irregular surface that is handcrafted using an exclusive Catellani & Smith process, to create hand- drawn radial lines pattern. The disc is meticulously covered in gold-coloured leaf, enhancing its luminous texture. Bellatrix is illuminated by nine dedicated LED boards, integrated into a 10 mm brass rod, supported by a flexible brass arm that allows to adjust the lighting direction.<\/p>\n
