Leonardo

Paper-thin maple wood strips are knotted around a steel cubic-shaped shell surrounding an intense light-source which, in this way, acquires volumetric qualities. One of the peculiarities of this lamp is the fact that due to maple wood elasticity one can customise the lamp by setting it up it in different ways. It is available in two sizes, the smallest of which has a diameter of 60 cm and 10 cm wide strips. The larger version offers an oversized 120 cm diameter and 20 cm strips. Each wooden band comes numbered to be assembled in the correct place on the structure. Resulting is a glowing knot of fine wood which projects light in opposed directions, offering subtle variations in transparency. It was named after the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition which was being developed at the studio parallel to its creation, although it could have also been called “Tagliatelle” or “Ghery”.
