About Flatiron Lucerna
Achilles Castiglioni persuasus erat artificem delere, delere, delere debere, et tandem nucleum consilii reperire. Bruno Munari dicere solebat res complicare facile esse, ad simplicitatem vero redigere difficillimum. Flatiron ex duorum horum dictorum contractione oritur. Fons luminis corpore ex simplici lamina metallica una tantum plica formato inclusus. Minimus elementorum numerus producto magnae eminentiae, collectio lucernarum forma tam essentiali quam efficaci distincta.

- 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
