una lámpara, además controla la calidad del aire.
Combina el arte del vidrio soplado a mano con una
sofisticada tecnología que monitoriza el aire del entorno a través de láseres y biosensores.

Craftsmanship and techno. Casarialto Tornasole is more than a lamp, also controls the quality of the air. Combine hand blown glass art with one sophisticated technology that monitors the quality of air through lasers and biosensors.

This innovative device was created 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. Tornasole lamp is part of Casarialto Atelier project.

The device integrated in the lamp is responsible for monitoring the quality of air in the environment, through a laser and bio-sensors.

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.
