Mezzaluna LED Floor lamp metal red / Bruno Gecchelin, 1975 - Orientable

An international bestseller and a benchmark of transalpine design in the '80s, the Mezzaluna floor lamp was designed in 1975 by Bruno Gecchelin.

Among the many luminaires designed by Gecchelin, the Metal Mezzaluna (half-moon) floor lamp was originally equipped with powerful halogen lighting. Immediately adopted by the world's leading architects, Mezzaluna was a huge commercial success, but then came total eclipse: energy-hungry and overheating beyond reason, rendered obsolete by its own technology, the fixture was shelved as a memory.

Until that day in 2022, when Frédéric Winkler (co-founder of DCWéditions) decided to reconsider the potential of 1980s luminaires. He had in mind this "Mezzaluna", the symbol of a decade that disappeared because of outdated halogen lighting. In collaboration with Bruno Gecchelin and his son Lorenzo, also a designer, a project took shape: to re-edit Mezzaluna, adapting it to LED technology. Enthusiastic about the idea, Gecchelin father and son revised their copy, making a number of modifications and re-dimensions required by LED technology. After a few months' work, the official reissue put Mezzaluna back into orbit. Mezzaluna's design has stood the test of time without altering its laconic yet eloquent aesthetic.

Mezzaluna emits a functional light, designed to illuminate an entire room. The light is fully adjustable: the base is height-adjustable and the half-moon head can be rotated. Thanks to a system of removable filters to be placed in front of the LED source, it is possible to adjust the light intensity (90% or 100%) as well as the light color temperature (2700 Kelvin Warm white / 3000 Kelvin neutral tones / 2400 Kelvin very warm).
