Onfale Large table lamp in opal blown glass

Its sinuous curves created by modeling a sheet of opal methacrylate delicately diffuse the light. It combines “simplicity and concept”, which for Magistretti are the basis of a design that lasts over time.

Table lamp . Collection in gold metal with opal blown glass diffusers.

The diffuser is handmade in double-layered artistic glass, obtained with the artisan technique of blowing in a still mold and the consequent grinding, recalling in the final result the ancient Murano technique of wrought glass.

Seductive and light design for a lamp that recalls the fascinating Lanna tradition. This ancient Thai people, on festive nights, let hundreds of lanterns hover among the stars. And it is as if one of these landed in the most refined and contemporary interiors, creating a new magic with its warm and enveloping light.

Nesso is an icon of Italian design of the 1960s, a decade of conquest of modernity in which design redesigns the domestic landscape through the first applications of plastic materials. Body and diffuser in technopolymer.

Castore combines the spherical blown glass diffuser with a luminous structure that softly joins it, characterizing its elementary geometry.

Bon Ton is a collection of table lamps inspired by pendant earrings. Feminine ornament and refined accessory, the earring is an object which, through the combination of different volumes and materials, lends itself to being declined in different compositions. Within this design scenario, simple shapes and different materials are superimposed to design lamps intended as suspended pieces of jewellery. The elementary volumes superimposed along the cable create micro-architectures in the shape of pendants. The composition closes at the end with a butterfly curl in natural brass, a clear allusion to the design reference.

The shape of these lamps recalls the old candle holders with handles, commonly called in Italian "bugia", a simplified name of the African city Bidgiaya which supplied most of the wax used to make candles! This anecdote today also accompanies the "modern" Bugia: a table or wall lamp with single or double light, as simple as it is ingenious.
