Materials: aluminum and vegetable leather. Stecco is a truly unique lamp. Its slender twiggy shape immediately brings to mind a species from the insect world. Some people, upon seeing the whittled structure of the prototypes, immediately thought of the stick bug, stecco in italian, with its long, thin body that mimics the shape of the stem it sits on. Hence, its name, stecco. This lamp is the evolution of an object with a painted wooden structure and a fluorescent bulb created to be a lighting element for the set of the “in progress” exhibit at the musée du grand-hornu, in belgium, in 2010. The stecco floor lamp and its “little brother” steccolino, a table lamp, were created starting from an aluminium frame, entirely hand-covered in vegetable-tanned leather available in ten sophisticated colours. Both lamps use 12-volt led lighting, which can be adjusted using a touch dimmer switch built into the frame. Unlike the stick-bug, an adept mime that blends in with its surroundings, stecco, in both models, proudly stands out from its surroundings. It looms up in space, an elegant silhouette in any setting: a beacon that suffuses indirect lighting.
