As with all his pieces, the work of Antonio Sciortino is informed by his background as a professional dancer and choreographer. The Inchino takes its name from the elegant bow taken by dancers at the end of their performance. The lamp’s graceful lines imitate the bowing dancers, adding a theatrical touch to your space.
Antonino Sciortino was born in Palermo in 1962. At the age of eight, in his father’s shop, he began to forge some small 'soft' iron pieces normally used for binding big iron bars. His passion for dance lead him to Rome where he started his carrier also as a choreographer. During his spare time he kept on designing iron works and now, this is his main activity. Even though he gave up dancing, he is able to express the lightness of dance in his iron works, creating sculptures mixing experiences and emotions. Nowadays he lives and works in Milan.
