STILNOVO LAMPIATTA 8981, 8982, 8983, 8984, 8985 hanging lamp E27 Ø 28 cm

Description:

The STILNOVO LAMPIATTA 8981, 8982, 8983, 8984, 8985 pendant lamp is not merely a lighting fixture – it is a manifesto of Italian design that has defined the concept of functional aesthetics since 1971. Designed by the legendary trio of architects: Jonathan De Pas, Donato D'Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi, this lamp returns in a masterful re-edition, bringing the spirit of the avant-garde and the bold style of the 70s into contemporary interiors. The 28 cm diameter version is a compact iteration of the iconic design, created with modern kitchens, dining rooms, and stylish commercial spaces in mind, combining history with modern lighting technology.

Design inspired by engineering: more than just a shape

The name "Lampiatta" loosely translates to "flat lamp," yet its unique form draws inspiration from the automotive world. The designers, fascinated by utilitarian engineering, based the shape of the aluminum shade on the form of a classic motorcycle helmet. A key visual element is the characteristic round holes in the upper part of the shade. This is not solely a stylistic choice. These slots, inspired by engine cooling systems, serve a dual role:

• They lend lightness and an industrial character to the solid form.
• They allow light to gently escape upwards, which eliminates the unpleasant "dark ceiling" effect and builds an atmospheric mood within the interior.

Masterful play with light

The Stilnovo Lampiatta was designed to maximize lighting efficiency while maintaining full visual comfort for users. The secret lies in the interior of the shade. Regardless of the chosen exterior color (whether classic black, white, or energetic red), the center of the lamp is always snow-white. It acts like a professional photographic screen, reflecting light and directing it in a wide stream directly downwards. The construction is optimized for Silver Bowl type bulbs (with a silvered dome). Using such a light source ensures that the rays do not dazzle the eyes directly but are thrown back onto the white surface of the shade, providing soft, perfectly diffused lighting, ideal over a table or worktop.

Where will the Lampiatta work best?

Thanks to its universal diameter and timeless form, this model is extremely plastic in interior arrangement:

• In a linear composition: Hang 2 or 3 pieces in a row over a kitchen island or a long dining table to achieve a rhythmic, coherent, and very modern effect.
• As a soloist: The lamp is ideal as spot lighting over a coffee table, a bedside cabinet, or in a small hallway.
• In public spaces: It fits perfectly in boutique hotels, cafes, and restaurants that wish to emphasize their character with vintage or modern classic style.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the lamp difficult to install?

The lamp features a standard mounting system with a ceiling canopy masking the wire connections. Installation is typical for pendant lamps; however, for safety reasons, we recommend using the services of a qualified electrician.

Is the bulb included?

Yes, a bulb is included with the lamp.

What bulb is best for the Lampiatta model?

To achieve an effect consistent with the designers' vision, we recommend using LED E27 bulbs with a so-called silver crown (silver crown/silver bowl). Such a bulb harmonizes perfectly with the lamp's geometry, preventing glare and fully utilizing the white interior of the shade as a reflector.

Can I shorten the cord?

Yes, the 2.5-meter power cord can be freely shortened during installation, adjusting the suspension height of the lamp to your own needs and the height of the room.
