About Scacco Matto Draagbare Lamp

Scacco Matto put inspirasie uit die radikale ontwerpbeweging van die 1960's en nooi gehore om vorms en lig te verken en met mekaar te kommunikeer. Met drie magneties gekoppelde elemente, kan die draagbare lamp omskep word in vyf verskillende ligbeeldhouwerke, om 'n nuwe belangstelling in die rol wat lig speel om die voorkoms, gevoel en atmosfeer van huise te transformeer, aan te wakker. Dit kan gebruik word as 'n vaas, beeldhouwerk of om lig op 'n spesifieke area te fokus. Die vyf moontlike kombinasies herinner aan skaak, vandaar die naam Scacco Matto, die Italiaanse vertaling van skaakmat.
