Catalog excerpts

The Twiggy lamp needs no introduction: designed by Marc Sadler who was inspired by the flexibility of a fishing rod, it has become an icon of contemporary design. Today, Twiggy has grown and become “oversized” in the Twice as Twiggy version: a significantly sized lamp dedicated to large rooms, which nevertheless retains the lightweight feel and flexibility of the original version. This goal has been achieved thanks to genuine technical artistry: the long arched rod in fact retains a slim diameter, thanks to a steel cable which is concealed within it, while the lampshade, which is both large and extremely light-weight, is balanced by the appropriately sized base. A system of counterweights allows the height-adjustment of the lampshade, fitted with 2 LED boards, with a dual effect: direct downlight and diffused up-light. In addition to the floor lamp version, Twice as Twiggy is also produced in the suspension version, featuring the same large lampshade.
