Functional design:
Bale lamp
Introducing our news glass pendant lamp: Bale lamp. Function emphasizes the design.
The task of designing a lamp with essential lines and shape, with both direct and diffuse light has led us to create Bale lamp. The archetypical shape (Bale in Friuli language means “ball”) makes it suitable for any kind of interior designs but with a particular attention to contemporary atmospheres.
The decision of making 1/4 transparent glass and 3/4 sandblasted glass rises from the necessity of focusing the direct light on the bottom side and concentrate it on the beneath surface while maintaining an indirect and diffuse lighting on the mid top side.
The function follows the design and design follows the function emphasizing the aesthetic; the function makes the design itself distinctive and recognizable. The difference on the surface is admirable both visually and to the touch.
Speaking on that, Enrico Zanolla says:
The inspiration for Bale lamp comes from a very simple task: realizing a lamp with both diffuse and direct light where the function could be expressed in a very simple and appealing design.
A lamp should be simple and easy to understand in terms of design language. The communication must be direct and aim to express a clear sensibility. I think Bale lamp is the translation of how we manage the design process.
Bale collection will be available starting 10th of July in 4 gorgeous and pastel colors.
