About Scacco Matto Lámpara Portátil
Scacco Matto se inspira en el movimiento de diseño radical de los años 60 e invita al público a explorar e interactuar con las formas y la luz. Con tres elementos conectados magnéticamente, la lámpara portátil se puede transformar en cinco esculturas de luz diferentes, para inspirar un nuevo interés en el papel que juega la luz en la transformación de la apariencia, la sensación y la atmósfera de los hogares. Puede usarse como jarrón, escultura o para enfocar la luz en un área particular. Las cinco combinaciones posibles recuerdan al ajedrez, de ahí el nombre Scacco Matto, la traducción italiana de jaque mate.
