a table lamp designed by tobia scarpa, that takes shape as a seemingly simple structure with sophisticated, innovative technology.

the lamp is composed of two luminous lines that can be joined to form various compositions, thanks to circular black metal connectors embellished with silver details that contain cutting-edge technology hidden in their interior. The joints can be opened 30 degrees, to the right or left, to create different visual effects. Each luminous line can be rotated 360 degrees to adjust its position and the brightness of the light.

a family of eye-catching lamps, inspired by a wall installation designed by tobia scarpa, that emerges from a seemingly simple structure and sophisticated, innovative technology. The concept for eitie, a palindrome in tribute to scarpa’s age and his extensive experience in the world of design, elaborates upon the idea of a luminous line that, thanks to unique circular connectors, is expressed in various configurations. Starting with the original work, part of the benetton foundation research centre, cassina has revisited the distinctive wall-mounted lighting system to produce a pendant light, a table lamp and a floor lamp that form a visually exciting collection. Each element is composed of two or three luminous lines that can be joined to form various compositions, thanks to circular black metal connectors embellished with silver details that contain cutting-edge technology hidden in their interior. The joints of the table and floor lamps can be opened 30 degrees, to the right or left, to create different visual effects, while the triangular wall-mounted version is stationary. Each luminous line can be rotated 360 degrees to adjust its position and the brightness of the light.

this lamp is wired for europe, if used in us or any other country the client will need to convert it.
