Story
Christophe Mathieu
Bicoca was born with the optimism of brightening life and accompanying the good times, wherever you go. It is a colourful, lightweight portable lamp that projects an intimate light.
The design begins with an overlay of basic geometric figures, and its shade tilts to direct the light. The lamp is small, manageable, versatile and autonomous, made of polycarbonate and available in a wide range of shade colours.
