The style is in line with the Radical Design movement, which valued the artist's manual skills and expressiveness. The wall lamps are primarily composed of two materials: i) glass is the undisputed protagonist. The amber hue and irregularities of the surface suggest craftsmanship, likely molded or free-blown. The air bubbles trapped in the glass lend depth and movement to the surface; ii) the base and supporting structure are metal, which provides the necessary stability and creates an interesting contrast with the transparency of the glass. Beyond being a design object, these wall lamps offer a warm, diffused light, ideal for creating a welcoming and intimate atmosphere. The light, filtering through the colored glass, creates highly evocative plays of shadows and reflections.
