The Uovo collection by Fontana Arte

FontanaArte Uovo brings Ben Swildens’s egg-shaped glass lamp into corded and rechargeable table versions.

The original uses satin blown glass above a discreet metal base and comes in three sizes with dimmable light. Uovo Portable surrounds an integrated LED with a glass shell and adds touch controls and USB charging. The portable version is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, while both retain the rounded, slightly asymmetric egg silhouette.
