The Giustino collection is perfectly modern but rooted in early 1900s bold Art Deco tropes as seen in Smithsonian Libraries’ Special Collections. This name is taken from the Vivaldi opera, Il Giustino, which is told in three acts, much like a key Art Deco form which is represented in the three-layer base of these lamps.

Through this collaboration, Varaluz has taken inspiration from the National Air and Space Museum, the National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute, and the famed Pollinator Garden, among other Smithsonian sources, and the results will make any home soar to new heights. Like the Smithsonian’s mission, Varaluz endeavors to create collections that span the breadth of art and design, from the ancient to the modern-day, from the playful to the practical, while capturing designs that are not only integral to everyday life, but to humanity, in a way that enriches us all.
