Flute - Magnum Floor lamp

Craftsmanship and matter in a suggestive encounter. A hand-crafted fiberglass floor lamp. A sinuous object that lights up completely and seems to come from distant worlds, to inhabit the space with kindness.

The name mentions a woman of great charm and character, who has inspired cinema, music and literature. In its sinuous and unpredictable shapes it communicates a decisive and delicate elegance. The special elastic fabric, usually used in other contexts, envelops the luminous body like a dress, generating surprising curves.

The long threadlike stems of Typha latifolia, an elegant aquatic plant, inspire the supports of this lamp with a delicate, almost lyrical design. And the same movement of the plants moved by the wind returns to the original lampshade. A gently irregular shape, in opaque glass on the inside and transparent on the outside, animated by bright jagged lines.

Castore combines the elementary geometry of the spherical blown glass diffuser with a luminous structure. On the one hand, this is softly connected to the diffuser, on the other hand it ends in a metal ring that acts as a dimmer and connects to the stem.

Base in steel and aluminum, stems in extruded aluminum, joints in die-cast aluminum, reflector in pressed aluminum with steel handle.

The colors, geometries and details such as the handle make Callimaco one of the emblematic pieces of Sottsass' Radical Design, which brings artistic and conceptual research to everyday objects, transforming them into unconventional works of art.

A clean design emphasizes the indirect light emitted. The essentiality and verticality are underlined by the front groove.

Indirect light shapes the body of the lamp, enhancing its sinuous shape and giving it the surprising appearance of a ring of light.
