Description:
Stilnovo Triedro 8993 is more than just wall lighting – it is a manifesto of 1970s industrial design. Designed by the visionary Joe Colombo, this wall lamp constitutes a perfect synthesis of technical precision and avant-garde aesthetics. Created with architecture lovers, design collectors, and interiors requiring uncompromising solutions in mind.
Project Genesis: Photography Inspiration
The Triedro model was created in 1970 as a result of Joe Colombo's fascination with the work of studio photographers. The designer wished to transfer the functionality of professional stage lamps into domestic spaces. The result is a lampshade with a unique construction that resembles diffusers used on photo sets, offering light control unprecedented in traditional home lamps.
Construction and Functionality
The heart of the Triedro 8993 wall lamp is its innovative lampshade, formed from a single sheet of lacquered metal.
- Geometry of light: The metal sheet has been precisely bent in three places (hence the name alluding to a polyhedron). Such a form ensures that the light is not suppressed but dynamically reflected off the white interior of the fixture, creating a wide yet directed beam.
- Triedro System: The special construction requires the use of a Silver Crown (silver dome) type bulb. Thanks to this, the light does not fall directly from the filament but is projected onto the rear wall of the lampshade, which eliminates the glare effect, providing soft yet powerful illumination.
- Full adjustability: The lamp is equipped with a sturdy joint that allows for the rotation and tilting of the lampshade. The user gains full freedom in creating the lighting scene – from task lighting to accent lighting.
- Details: The bulb holder housing made of black plastic provides an elegant contrast to the white, glossy metal of the lampshade, emphasizing the technical pedigree of the lamp.
