About Scacco Matto Prenosna Svetilka

Scacco Matto črpa navdih iz radikalnega oblikovalskega gibanja iz šestdesetih let in vabi občinstvo k raziskovanju in interakciji z oblikami in svetlobo. Prenosno svetilko s tremi magnetno povezanimi elementi je mogoče spremeniti v pet različnih svetlobnih skulptur, da bi spodbudili novo zanimanje za vlogo, ki jo ima svetloba pri preoblikovanju videza, občutka in vzdušja v domovih. Lahko se uporablja kot vaza, skulptura ali za fokusiranje svetlobe na določeno področje. Pet možnih kombinacij spominja na šah, od tod tudi ime Scacco Matto, italijanski prevod za mat.
