Pendant Lamp Umberto Black

UMBERTO is a steel shade cut into facets and hung from a thin wire. The faceting is what the design turns on, giving a plain material an edge and a shadow line.

Steel and an exposed suspension put the range in industrial territory, but the proportions are drawn from classic design rather than workshop fittings. That pairing is why the lamps sit between the two and settle firmly into neither.

Hung in a room they read as decoration first and lighting second, which is the right way round for a shape like this.
