NICCI KAVALS

Nicci Kavals has a design sensibility and talent acquired from a life dedicated to her craft. In the inception of her career as both chef and food stylist, and then Melbourne Editor of Vogue Entertaining & Travel magazine, Nicci learnt the art of reduction and visual seduction, tantalising one’s sense of sight and taste. This naturally evolved to design objects to elevate and compliment the culinary arts before expanding her repertoire with objects of sculptural and poetic beauty to enhance any interior environment.

Kavals’ practice fuses art with sophisticated engineering, favouring natural and machined materials of the highest quality imprinted with the soulful poeticism of the unique imprint of the craftspeople in the finished product. Every product is honed until a refined simplicity emerges and modernity aligns with an enduring appeal. 

OUR STUDIO

Articolo is a design studio that reveres the ethereal nature of light through a commitment to artisanal craft and quality workmanship.

With showrooms in Melbourne Australia and New York City, the studio reflects founder and creative director Nicci Kavals’ passion for the textural spirit of light; producing works that are internationally regarded for a contemporary, yet enduring aesthetic and the luxurious pairing of materials.

ARTISANALLY ARTICOLO

Each Articolo piece is the result of many skilled hands working in tandem. From the famed glassblowers of Murano to Australian metalworkers and Italian jewellers, our lights are only possible with the work of artisans from around the globe.

We recently captured their spirit and their dedication in our debut short film, Artisanally Articolo.
