NICCI KAVALS (NEE GREEN)
Inspired by a desire to explore and perpetuate ‘the art of light’, Nicci Kavals is a designer driven by intuition, with a process that embodies an innate sense of unrestrained freedom. The evocative nature of light and the forms it takes interplay with Nicci’s imagination, personal memories and everyday experiences resulting in work that is a tangible yet visceral expression of her true self.
Her fascination with the shadow play of light and the inherent soul that is revealed within each mouth-blown piece, is manifested through artisanal craftsmanship and is present in each piece she creates. She works with artisans from around the globe who share her reverence for the individuality of materials, to create collections that are organic in form with a nuanced balance.
Her non-traditional design career spans more than 25 years with a defining moment in 2012 when she established Articolo. Since then, she has cultivated light, believing in its beauty and the role it plays in shaping mood and moment.
Green’s distinctive designs transcend the everyday and are specified globally in leading luxury hotels, restaurants and high-end private residential projects.
