Product description
Filo comes from the desire to display the
individual parts that go into a lamp – the light
source, decoration and electrical wiring –
bringing out their structural and aesthetic
characteristics, simplifying the grammar and
syntax. Its essential character is the result of the
choice of using decoration to play a fundamental
role, incorporating elements that are not
traditionally considered decorative. Hence the
electrical wire establishes a dialogue with the
parts in glass and the diffuser, in a rhythmical
game of role swapping. While the energy that
allows the lamp to perform its purpose as
lighting runs along the cord, spheres and bulbs
of glass also take their place there, transforming
it into the archetype of a necklace, with a
porcelain body in the form of a cone that projects
the light on the wire and the glass spheres,
ideally positioned as a pendent. A wide range of
colours enlivens the lamp with multiple identities,
from watercolour tones to the transparent hues
of Murano glass, bright colours with ethnic
overtones to the fluorescent tones of
contemporary cityscapes, making it possible to
insert the lamp in a very wide range of settings. Filo comes in table, floor, wall or suspension
versions; in the latter two, the structural analysis
and game of hybrids between functions
continues all the way to the sockets, which also
become constituent parts of the lamp’s identity.
