Silver lining

The Hydroargentum is about capturing the essence of the classical Venice style’s structure and synthesizing its shapes, in a vibrant and inspired gesture: an esthetic intuition, converting geometry into imagination and turning shape into a glowing idea. The alchemic suggestion of the collection is more present than ever: Hydroargentum is in fact the name given by the ancient alchemists to mercury, the liquid metal, whose symbolic meaning is to be searched in
its property to adjust to the receptacle that contains it and therefore in fast forward thinking. By the alternating of fluidity and proportion, Hydroargentum’s shapes expand in space flowing through intellect
reflecting the thought of those who contemplates it.

Hydroargentum was designed by Leonardo De Carlo in 2009 and initially suggested in 3 colors, silver, blue and bronze. its dimensions vary from 15 to 96 lights and from 3 meters in diameter and 6
meters in height. Andromeda has now produced a photo shoot about Hydroargentum, portraying it in a lyrical and coral context, while it was suspended against the sky and drowned in the water. The evocative images are today collected in an exclusive, limited-edition, 170 pages photographic book: the Hydroargentum’s collection catalogue.
