Bilia table lamp diffuser in satin white blown glass 42W E14

Yanzi adds a playful and poetic touch to any space. It is an iconic and stylized swallow with a brushed brass body, with the head like a white glass sphere that encloses the light and a black metal structure on which it rests. Steel base, lamp body in zamak, blown opal glass diffuser.

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.

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.

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.
