Pinecone

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Pinecone collection, designed by Paola Navone in 2016, includes both pendant and table lamps. These lamps feature a blown glass diffuser available in two finishes: glossy transparent and milky white acid-etched. The design utilizes the ancient caged blown glass technique, where the glass is blown into a metal cage, creating a unique tension between the glass and the cage.

Specifications: The diffuser is made from blown glass, with options for a transparent (TR) or milky acid-etched (BI) finish. The metal cage is nickel-plated, and the base is made of white metal (RAL 9002). The pendant lamp includes a transparent power cord and steel suspension cables, while the table lamp features a transparent dimmer, plug, and power cord.

Design Features: The transparent version of the lamp reveals a dual-layer structure, enhancing the visual effect and projecting kaleidoscopic shadows. The milky white version follows the cage's geometry, providing an elegant and diffuse light. Both versions are designed to make a striking impact whether the lamp is on or off.

Technical Details: The lamps are equipped with a 1x150W (HA) E27 bulb and include a dimmer for adjustable lighting. The pendant lamp has a diameter of 50 cm and a height of 52 cm, with a 250 cm cable. The table lamp shares the same dimensions but includes a white metal base.

Conclusion: The Pinecone lamps are a blend of traditional glassblowing techniques and modern design, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional lighting. The choice of diffuser finish allows for customization to suit different interior styles.

Il diffusore viene prodotto mediante l’antica tecnica del vetro soffiato ingabbiato: il maestro vetraio soffia a bocca la bolla vitrea entro una gabbia metallica, che ne contiene la naturale espansione solo in parte. In questo modo il manufatto finale viene in parte trattenuto dalla gabbia e in parte vi sfugge, creando un gioco di tensione che genera un oggetto sospeso nell’atto di fuoriuscire dal proprio vincolo; la gabbia...

Die Pendel- und Tischleuchte Pinecone mit Diffusor aus mundgeblasenem Glas ist in den Ausführungen glanztransparent oder milchweiß geätzt erhältlich. Der Glasdiffusor wird anhand der althergebrachten Technik des Glasblasens in einen Metallkorb hergestellt. Dabei wird das erhitzte Glas direkt in einem Metallkorb geblasen, der die natürliche Ausdehnung nur teilweise einschränkt. Ein Teil des Glasdiffusors entfaltet sich also außerhalb des Korbes und erzeugt ein Spiel der Spannungen, das durch die Befreiung aus den Grenzen einen schwebenden Gegenstand entstehen lässt. Der Korb wird dank der galvanischen...
