by Giulio Iacchetti from Foscarini
magneto table lamp
Design Giulio Iacchetti, 2011
Lacquered stainless steel, ABS, super magnet
Made in Italy by Foscarini
Those who are drawn to functional objects with an essential design will be charmed by magneto, a lamp featuring an invisible power: the magnetic field of a magnet. Indeed, the project focuses on a spherical magnet which combines two simple elements: a support rod with a round base and a compact led light source, similar to an electric torch or a microphone, affording the utmost versatility of angling and movement along the rod.
Magneto teams the flexibility of a lamp suitable for infinite solutions with absolute formal and functional simplicity. The intense, concentrated and focused light can be directed down onto a small area, such as a book, a magazine, or a computer keyboard, or it can be directed up to create an atmosphere filled with suggestion. Hence, a multitude of usage requirements can be accommodated: from reading to diffused lighting.
Designed to blend in seamlessly with any setting and situation, magneto is available in two sizes, as a table lamp or a floor lamp, and in two colors, white or black, to distinguish different spaces and moments: from offices to lounges, living rooms and bedrooms. At all times featuring a special, strong yet subtle, attractive and seductive personality, in a word: magnetic.
15" h | base: 5.9" dia. | light source: 8" L | 2.87 lbs.
includes LED light source: 1x5W 2700º K | 475 lumen | CRI 80
