URBAN GARDEN
Harmonious Unity between Nature and Modernity
The world of design and architecture is delighted to welcome a new creative excellence with the launch of the unprecedented ceramic surface collection “Urban Garden”, conceived by architect and designer Simone Micheli for Lovelight+39, a leading Italian brand in interior ceramics.
The 21 proposals of this capsule collection, blending graphics with materiality, are expressed through organic lines that evoke folk songs and hints of art and craft, reflecting the richness of popular culture while capturing the romantic values of nature juxtaposed with the artificiality of urban life.
The new line debuted at the LoveLight+39 showroom during Milan Design Week. Urban Garden embodies an emotional journey through the aesthetics, art, and philosophy of the designer, seamlessly melding with Lovelight+39’s vision. It’s not merely the outcome of meticulous work but also a reflection of the desire to delve into the connection between humans and their environment.
Simone Micheli, renowned for his ability to transform complexity into forms of pure simplicity, has shaped the ceramic surfaces with the aim of creating an oasis of serenity and positive energy in the chaos of contemporary life. Through a blend of materials, organic lines, vibrant colors, whites, and blacks interspersed with silver and gold finishes, the collection evokes the atmosphere of an urban garden, where nature and culture combine. The vortex graphic with its light/dark contrasts was created in collaboration with Cèsar Julian Micheli. Each piece represents a reflection, born from a dream that invites the viewer on a journey through the multiple dimensions of life. A gentle yet powerful reminder: in everyday chaos, simplicity is the key to rediscovering beauty.
ICE
L’essenza del ghiaccio naturale è trasformata in un elemento di arredo. Il grigio cristallino riflette la luce in modo sottile. La texture, finemente lavorata, riproduce fedelmente le irregolarità e le sottili incrinature per un’esperienza tattile unica e coinvolgente.
The essence of natural ice is transformed into a decorative element. The crystalline gray lightly reflects light in a subtle way. The finely crafted texture faithfully reproduces irregularities and cracks for a unique and engaging tactile experience.
BEANS
Un caleidoscopio naturale viene catturato attraverso un disegno vivace di forme arrotondate dalle tonalità verde, arancione, rosso e giallo che si sovrappongono e si fondono in un pattern giocoso e accattivante, che ricorda i semi e i legumi nell’arte della natura.

CAESAR
