About Scacco Matto Portable Lampe

Scacco Matto zitt Inspiratioun aus der 1960er radikaler Designbewegung an invitéiert d'Publikum fir Formen a Liicht ze entdecken an ze interagéieren. Mat dräi magnetesch verbonnen Elementer, kann déi portabel Luucht a fënnef verschidde Liichtskulpturen transforméiert ginn, fir en neien Interessi un der Roll ze inspiréieren, déi d'Liicht spillt fir de Look, d'Gefill an d'Atmosphär vun Haiser ze transforméieren. Et kann als Vase, Skulptur oder fir Liicht op e bestëmmte Beräich ze fokusséieren benotzt ginn. Déi fënnef méiglech Kombinatioune erënneren un Schach, dohier den Numm Scacco Matto, déi italienesch Iwwersetzung vu Scheckmatt.
