Carmen - Table lamp

A light inspired by old armours. A perfect combination of decorative and pleasant direct light that gives character to any space. A very feminine form that comes alive when the light escapes in a gentle way out through the different layers, creating an interesting game of light and shadow. The layers, cut on thin steel sheet and lacquer on white, give a delicate feel and at the same time reflects the light perfectly while low energy lights bulbs ensure great intensity of light with minimum energy consumption.

The Italian lighting and furniture company was founded in 1932 by Gio Ponti and has produced a number of products including lighting, furniture and tabletop items. Ponti was a key figure in the realization of artistic stained-glass windows, which can still be found in churches and cathedrals across the world, when he realized the enormous potential of putting advanced glass manufacturing into daily use. The exhibition Light is Movement for Milan’s furniture fair reflected magnificently the drive and determination of what the Fontana Arte represents in the 21^st century as a perfect mix of iconic designers like the Castiglioni brothers or Renzo Piano giving headway to renown contemporary designers like Laurinda Spear from Arquitectonica Studio or French architect Dominique Perrault.
