Designed in 1970 by Joe Colombo, Topo is a lamp that celebrates the link between design and innovation. A timeless piece that brings the charm of 1960s automotive shapes to the world of lighting design.

Topo is a design object with retro charm, inspired by 1960s sports cars. The slits on the metal shade are reminiscent of the air intakes of vintage vehicles, while the shape of the shade reflects the casing that houses the classic E27 bulb—a subtle balance between functionality and aesthetics.
