Big Shadow Floor Lamp
Marcel Wanders' Big Shadow for Cappellini enlarges the familiar shaded lamp into a freestanding light whose fabric covers both shade and base.
White polyamide and viscose stretch over a metal-rod structure, diffusing light through the continuous silhouette. Several sizes and heights allow the same softly illuminated form to work at different scales.
Every detail, considered.
