Description
Overview
Chapeaux P is a table lamp for direct and diffused lighting by Rodolfo Dordoni, introduced by Foscarini in 2023, with the number of components cut to a minimum. Its diffuser is matte porcelain, set freely on a transparent glass body; light passes through it and lights it from within for a soft ambient atmosphere.
Construction
The light source is an opal polycarbonate ampoule that holds the technical lighting components and seems to hover inside the transparent glass body. A small brushed aluminium rod at the top is a touch dimmer with three levels, and it keeps the last dimmer setting in memory when the lamp is switched on from a wall switch.

Story
Few components
The glass base is almost invisible. On it sit a luminous core and a porcelain hat that is placed freely, and the hat spreads the light from the inside to give a welcoming atmosphere.
A light that seems to float
The opal polycarbonate ampoule that holds the technical components appears to float inside the glass. A small brushed aluminium rod at the top works as the touch dimmer and remembers its last setting.
