The Design

About Scacco Matto Portable Lamp

Si Scacco Matto ay nakakuha ng inspirasyon mula sa radikal na kilusan ng disenyo noong 1960s at nag-iimbita sa mga madla na tuklasin at makipag-ugnayan sa mga hugis at liwanag. Nagtatampok ng tatlong magnetically connected elements, ang portable lamp ay maaaring baguhin sa limang magkakaibang light sculpture, upang magbigay ng inspirasyon sa isang bagong interes sa papel na ginagampanan ng liwanag sa pagbabago ng hitsura, pakiramdam, at kapaligiran ng mga tahanan. Maaari itong magamit bilang isang plorera, eskultura o upang ituon ang liwanag sa isang partikular na lugar. Ang limang posibleng kumbinasyon ay nakapagpapaalaala sa chess, kaya tinawag na Scacco Matto, ang pagsasalin ng Italyano ng checkmate.
