The feminine side of light
With their artistic spirit and practicality, prominent and influential historical designers and contemporary creatives have translated their visionary ideas into lamps that have become undisputed icons of both past and present times.
From the forward-looking Charlotte Perriand to the pillars of more recent architectural styles like Gae Aulenti, Zaha Hadid, Patricia Urquiola and other talented leaders of the contemporary scene: the creativity, intuition and beauty of the feminine side of Light.
The Vertigo pendant lamp by Petite Friture is an icon of contemporary design: it comes to life as it sways and spins with the breeze, creating a mesmerizing effect. With an ethereal yet dramatic appearance, it suits both large and small spaces where it creates an intimate ambiance. The intricate patterns of shadows and beams of light it casts on the walls enhance the dramatic character of this lightweight lamp designed by Constance Guisset. Vertigo's new metallic bronze finish is consistent with the new colour trends: it adds a bold touch while preserving its discreet design.
Almendra is a modular lighting system designed by Patricia Urquiola for Flos, characterised by organic forms that recall an almond tree. This evocative and refined design comes in three poetic versions: arched, linear and organic. Elegant, lightweight and flexible, it provides multiple configurations, creating bright atmospheres.
Zaha Hadid has translated the spatial concepts of her architectural style into small sculptural objects. Inspired by the abstract idea of dune formations, the pendant lamp designed by the famous architect for Lasvit has a three-dimensional, asymmetrical design achieved through the intersection of two organic forms made of striped glass.
Gräshoppa, Gubi's timeless floor lamp designed by Greta Grossman in the 1940s, recalls a sinuous grasshopper, which gives it its name, clinging to a blade of grass: the grace and dynamism of the lamp counterbalance the strictness of the modernist movement of that era.
