About Scacco Matto Lamp Symudol

Mae Scacco Matto yn tynnu ysbrydoliaeth o fudiad dylunio radical y 1960au ac yn gwahodd cynulleidfaoedd i archwilio a rhyngweithio â siapiau a golau. Yn cynnwys tair elfen sydd wedi'u cysylltu'n magnetig, gellir trawsnewid y lamp symudol mewn pum cerflun ysgafn gwahanol, i ysbrydoli diddordeb newydd yn y rôl y mae golau yn ei chwarae wrth drawsnewid edrychiad, teimlad ac awyrgylch cartrefi. Gellir ei ddefnyddio fel fâs, cerflun neu i ganolbwyntio golau ar ardal benodol. Mae'r pum cyfuniad posibl yn atgoffa rhywun o gwyddbwyll, a dyna pam yr enw Scacco Matto, y cyfieithiad Eidaleg o checkmate.
