Solis

In creating Solis, designer Carmine Deganello set out to engage with light in its archetypal form: the sun’s rays. The resulting piece is an engaging blend of light and shadows, casting shimmering rays and radiating patterns onto a space. The effect is a sense of weightlessness — and a redefined environment that invites a new kind of relationship with the light source. A suspension lamp made of lightweight polyester fabric and stainless steel, Solis can be used as a pendant, hung from a wall, or as a freestanding, portable luminaire. More

Pendant lamp Mistress

The inspiration for the Mistress lamp has nothing to do with material objects, but is dictated by feelings from contemplation of the wild energy of a woman's independent spirit: her cold-blooded power, at the dawn of success. The individuality of the lamp is expressed by a bold composition of the union of two opposites: fragile, sensual nature and hard, masculine component.
