Falkland floor lamp is a truly timeless classic designed by Bruno Munari. With a spontaneous shape that is achieved by the contrasting forces of its components: the tension of a stretched tube of finely woven fabric and the weight of seven different sized metal rings. A single light bulb and aluminium reflector illuminate the curves […]
With direct reference to the anecdote of the apple falling on Isaac Newton?s head, suggesting the existence of gravity, Newton?s metal diffuser rotates and enlightens the natural element in a mix of direct and diffused light.
