Isa Fattoria — A House of Light.

Isa Fattoria is the lighting and design studio of Isabella ‘Isa” Gunn, a visual artist whose work blends meticulous craftsmanship with a sense of suspended magic. Inspired by old-world ornamentation, poetic literature, feminine expression, and the delicate beauty of nature, Isa creates one-of-a-kind light fixtures that blur the line between object and atmosphere.

Rooted in her Italian heritage and a Northwest farm upbringing, her practice honors the quiet complexities of light, material, and emotion. ‘Fattoria,' meaning farm in Italian, reflects a deep connection to her work and creative process.

Captivated by the sculptural potential of textiles, Isa explores the relationship between fabric and light, allowing each material to respond organically to subtle shifts in its glow. The process is both labor-intensive and intimate, often taking a month or more to complete. Beginning with a few conceptual sketches to explore the design vision, Isa’s approach becomes meditative, as fabric and light enter a continuous feedback loop—every fold and stitch guided by the material’s response to diffused light. The work evolves through a continuous dialogue, with each adjustment bringing the piece closer to a balance of expression and illumination.

Through thoughtful craftsmanship and design, Isa’s work invites viewers to reconnect with light, warmth, and texture.  Each piece, once illuminated, becomes a portal for personal reflection —where light and fabric evoke nostalgia, stirring memories, emotions, and interpretations unique to each observer.
