About Scacco Matto Lámpada Portátil

Scacco Matto inspírase no movemento de deseño radical dos anos 60 e invita ao público a explorar e interactuar coas formas e a luz. Con tres elementos conectados magnéticamente, a lámpada portátil pódese transformar en cinco esculturas de luz diferentes, para inspirar un novo interese polo papel que xoga a luz na transformación do aspecto, a sensación e a atmosfera dos fogares. Pódese usar como vaso, escultura ou para enfocar a luz nunha zona determinada. As cinco combinacións posibles lembran ao xadrez, de aí o nome de Scacco Matto, a tradución italiana de xaque mate.
