Catellani & Smith Sweet Light table lamp
Design:
Enzo Catellani
Description:
The table lamp Sweet light Tavolo by Catellani & Smith is made up of an aluminium, brass or silver wire. The lamp is equipped with only one 20W halogen lamp that resides internally in the sphere and suffuses the fixture with an inimitable glow. The idea for this lamp came from the request for an enormous chandelier for the "Museo della Cartografia di Stato" (State Cartography Museum) - Trevi Fountain in Rome. The designer was asked to design a chandelier that was, not only very large but, at the same time, ethereal with many lights. A chandelier symbolising an universe. Enzo Catellani immediately thought of using a light and flexible material that could also become a suitable structure for holding many lights. He experimented with the malleability of iron wire and the first shape that was created was an enormous sphere. Its appearance reminded him of the light, rolling bushes, blown by the wind in the Mexican desert. The Museum lamp was completely another thing, but this prototype remained. It was then easy to produce it in other sizes and last but not least, to realise a tangle of iron wires with a small internal light. The lamp is provided with an electronic 80W sensor dimmer.
