Ray
The Ray table lamp is inspired by the iconic Atollo lamp designed by Vico Magistretti in 1977, one of the most recognizable objects of 20th-century Italian design. Ray reinterprets the idea of combining simple geometric forms through contemporary LED technology. Its main feature is a technical paradox: the base, traditionally used only to support the light source, becomes the source of light itself, while the upper element no longer functions as a conventional shade but instead controls and redirects the luminous flux.
LED boards are integrated into the sides of the hexagonal metal structure of the base and concealed behind a matte diffuser. As a result, the base emits an even glow while the technical components remain almost invisible.
The upper shade does not conceal a bulb or diffuse light in the traditional way. Instead, it interacts with the light emitted from the base and redirects the luminous flux mainly in a horizontal plane. The conventional roles of the main elements of a table lamp are therefore reversed.
This solution creates a distinctive lighting effect within an extremely concise construction. Light is no longer simply the functional result of the object but becomes the principal element of its visual identity.
The name Ray directly reflects the concept of the lamp. It refers both to the physical beam of light and to the central design idea — creating an object whose appearance is defined by the behavior and direction of light itself.
