About Flatiron Lámpara

Achille Castiglioni estaba convencido de que el diseñador debía eliminar, eliminar, eliminar y al final encontrar el aspecto central del diseño. Bruno Munari solía decir que complicar las cosas es fácil, mientras que simplificar las cosas es muy difícil. Flatiron surge de la crasis de estas dos referencias. Una fuente de luz encapsulada por un cuerpo hecho de una simple lámina metálica con un solo pliegue. La cantidad mínima de elementos para un producto de gran prominencia, una colección de lámparas caracterizada por un diseño tan esencial como efectivo.

Production Technology
Lasercut metal sheet with a single fold for the structure. Dimmerable LED strip as a light source.
Design Challenge
Bruno Munari once said that to complicate things is easy, while to simplify things is very hard. Achille Castiglioni was convinced that the designer should delete, delete, delete and at the end find the core aspect of the design. Flatiron comes from the combination of this two references. A simple metal sheet with just one fold that encases the light source. The challenge has been to reduce the project to the minimum amount of elements.
Research
Starting from a deep research on floor lamps, we focused then on understanding which could be the right kind of light source. Because the aim of this product is not to be a technical lamp, but to be an decorative ambient lamp, the diffused light is the right choice and the shape of the structure itself orientates the beam. We invested a lot of time in the selection of the right light source because we wanted it to be warm and dimmerable.
Inspiration
The combination of the world of origami and the world of architecture is what is at the base of Flatiron family.
The name itself has two meaning. First is a reference to the famous building in Manhattan with a triangular shape. Than explains how it is made, starting from a simple flat sheet of iron.
Project Duration
Development of the project took 4 months and took place in Milan
Operation Flow
Simply plug the lamp, press the dimmer and you can turn on or off the lamp and dimm the intensity of light
