tropico vertical suspension lamp

The Tropico suspension module is the result of long research. Its lozenge-shaped, sculptural presence, with no visual hooks, was honed mold after mold. Its material, ABS, was chosen because it is light and hard-wearing, but also for the material sensation it transmits when it is penetrated by light. The rings to which the lozenge elements are attached recall the earth's parallels and hence the name, Tropico.

The lamp can be customized by simply inserting a colored thread with a magnet. the ring structure creates a second skin around the inner cylinder - an interplay of full and empty spaces, suitable for a public or private setting. Sculptural, elegant, yet easy to understand, to customize and to place: this is Tropico.

An industrial designer since 1992, Giulio Iacchetti carries out an intense educational work for several universities and design schools, in Italy and abroad. He was awarded a number of international prizes. In 2001 his project for a disposable fork "Moscardino" (designed with Matteo Ragni) won the Compasso d'Oro ADI and is now part of the permanent design exhibition at MOMA, New York.

Composed by elements in thermoplastic resin connected onto metal rings, Tropico suspension lamp is available in four versions and one finish options (ice). Optional colored filters (violet or orange) also available for further customization.
