Diploma is the new floor lamp by Cattelan Italia, premièring at the Salone del Mobile Milan 2025. Born from the fusion of two worlds—design and sculpture—Diploma is inspired by the golden ratio while embracing the soft, flowing curves of a rolled parchment. This approach gives the lamp a fluid movement, making it extremely versatile and adaptable to any setting. Though sculptural in form, Diploma seamlessly integrates into any interior style: whether placed in a modern living space or one with a more classic soul, its presence does not go unnoticed. Like a sculpture of light, it defines the space it inhabits.
Crafted from clay, Diploma embodies the pure essence of a material that has been skilfully shaped by hand. Each lamp is individually finished, and this artisan process gives every piece unique imperfections that enhance its value and authenticity. The warm, diffused light—perfect for relaxation—emerges from an integrated LED strip embedded in the silhouette, highlighting the rich texture of the clay, a material that optimizes light diffusion. This finish captures the interplay of light and shadow, creating a welcoming and enveloping atmosphere.
The originality of this new lighting product lies in its material selection, combined with embedded LED technology. Diploma’s LED system is highly efficient and contributes to energy savings without compromising light quality. With an integrated dimmer, the light intensity can be adjusted to suit different atmospheres: from a soft glow for moments of relaxation to a brighter setting for activities requiring greater illumination.
Just as a diploma represents an achievement attained through dedication and effort, Cattelan Italia’s new floor lamp, through its very name, declares its promise of lasting durability. A statement of intent that aligns seamlessly with the excellence of Made in Italy and the company’s artisan expertise.
