Lys 434 / 434/L

Of all the types of lighting, the “fl oor lamp” is today perhaps the one in greatest diffi culty. The undoubted revival of the central lighting point on the ceiling and the consequent proliferation of chandeliers has reduced it to a marginal role compared

to the glories of the ’60s and ’70s. Daniele Ruzza and Silvana Angeletti seem to fi nd their starting point in this refl ection and, in designing Lys, make specifi c reference to that extraordinary moment of Italian lighting design. The moment of the gre

The previous product

also comes in the suspended Lys version, which on one hand takes advantage of the great elegance of the design of the head, and on the other the considerable lighting power in relation to the contained dimensions in terms of volume.
