The first step has to arise from the awareness of the individual . This need has given birth to Tornasole, an instrument that not only analyzes the air and the components, but it is also an aesthetic and decorative object handcrafted from Murano glass.

Tornasole is a lamp that combines the art of free-hand blown glass, Casarialto’s signature, with sophisticated technology.
The device integrated in the lamp is responsible for monitoring the quality of air in the environment, through a laser and bio-sensors.

This innovative device was devised by BreathGeneration Collective Air Quality Observatory, conceived and promoted by Alfio Pozzoni and Alessandro Brizioli with the support of a team of professionals, as well as a scientific
committee.

Spherical in shape with the addition of two small branches, each housing a small bird, the lamp is supported by a chromeplated base stores the air quality detection device.

Tornasole is reminiscent of a poetic miniobservatory that changes shades of colour to warn us when to ventilate the space we live in, increasing awareness about our surroundings.
