STILNOVO FANTE 8967, 8969 ceiling LED lamp 11W 2700K

Description:

Stilnovo Fante 8967, 8969 is a masterful example of industrial design that combines function, playfulness, and brilliant simplicity. Designed in the late 70s by the legendary trio of architects – Jonathan De Pas, Donato D'Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi – this lamp remains one of the most recognizable items in the Stilnovo portfolio today. This model is extremely versatile: it can function as a ceiling lamp (flush mount) or a wall lamp (sconce), making it an ideal solution for interiors with diverse architecture where every centimeter of space counts.

Brilliant construction:

Light wearing a hat What distinguishes the Fante model from thousands of other ceiling lamps is a unique light control system, completely devoid of complex mechanisms, screws, or joints. Operating principle: The aluminum shade (reflector) is not permanently attached to the base. It rests freely on a large, spherical Globe bulb, resembling a hat pulled over a head – hence the name Fante (Italian for infantryman or knave/jack). Intuitive adjustment: To change the direction of the light, simply move the shade with your hand. The disc glides smoothly over the glass surface of the bulb, allowing for precise light modeling. You can direct the beam vertically downwards for a symmetrical effect or tilt it to illuminate a specific wall, painting, or work zone.

Premium materials and available colors

The Fante lamp is a play of material and geometric contrasts. The conical base is made of high-quality silicone (EPDM). This soft, matte material gives the lamp a modern, almost organic character and facilitates installation on uneven surfaces. The shade, in turn, is a precisely made aluminum disc, painted white, the inner side of which acts as a reflector maximizing light reflection.

The product is available in two unique base color variants:

• Model 8967 (black): Classic elegance, perfectly matching loft, modern, and minimalist interiors.
• Model 8969 (terracotta/mattone): An original color accent in a shade of muted red, alluding to vintage style and 70s aesthetics.

Interior application

Thanks to its compact height (just 28 cm), Fante is an excellent alternative to pendant lamps, especially in lower rooms. It is perfect for:

• Corridors and halls: as a home showcase right from the threshold.
• Bedrooms: as an alternative to bedside lamps (wall mount) or main ceiling light.
• Living room: for creating atmospheric lighting scenes and illuminating relaxation zones.
• Commercial spaces: boutiques, cafes, and creative offices that focus on design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the Stilnovo Fante lamp require specialized installation?

No, installation is standard. Thanks to the flexible silicone base, the lamp adheres well even to ceilings with minor irregularities. However, please remember to handle the bulb gently when placing the aluminum shade on it.

Can I replace the bulb with another one?

The lamp was designed to work with a specific type of bulb (E27 Globe with a diameter of 12.5 cm). The shape of the bulb is crucial for the functionality of the lamp, as the shade rests directly on it. We recommend using bulbs with identical dimensional parameters as the one included in the set so that the adjustment mechanism works smoothly and stably.

How to clean the lamp?

The aluminum shade can be wiped with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. The silicone base can be wiped with a damp cloth with a very mild detergent if necessary, avoiding strong chemicals and solvents.

Is the product 100% original?

Yes. The offered lamp is an official reissue of the Stilnovo brand (currently part of the Linea Light group). By purchasing this product, you are guaranteed to receive a certified product made in accordance with the original project of the design masters.
