Scacco Matto Portable Lamp

Scacco Matto

Scacco Matto draws inspiration from the 1960s radical design movement and invites audiences to explore and interact with shapes and light. Featuring three magnetically connected elements, the portable lamp can be transformed in five different light sculptures, to inspire a new interest in the role light plays in transforming the look, feel, and atmosphere of homes. It can be used as a vase, sculpture or to focus light on a particular area. The five possible combinations are reminiscent of chess, hence the name Scacco Matto, the Italian translation of checkmate.

Altera Interactive Lamp

Altera

The delicate, fluid and almost translucent character of marble evokes water. While exploring this relationship, waterfall walls emerged as inspiration. Water shimmering over textured stone suggested light filtering through marble elements. Reflecting the human desire to touch nature, this idea evolved into a modern, tactile lighting design that goes beyond illumination, offering a dynamic and personal experience. With rotatable marble wings, users can shape both light and form by hand. The design combines thin cut marble for light diffusion, a brass structure and frosted Led diffusers.

Ozz Pendant Lamp

Ozz

This lamp design is inspired by a wizard's hat and is named after one of the most famous wizards, Oz. Its design is based on the idea of using only a circle as a design element, transformed through different wavy variations to define a form. Although the silhouette remains relatively consistent from different viewpoints, the shifting curves subtly influence how a person interacts with the lamp. Moving around it creates a sense of wave-like motion for the viewer.
