Chiaroscura

Overview

Chiaroscura is a floor lamp by Alberto Meda and Francesco Meda: a minimalist sculptural body for all-round lighting. It reinterprets the classic luminator, adding to its functionality through a triangular structure that diffuses ambient light to the sides and direct light to the ceiling.

Construction

The slim, visibly light body is made up of three semi-arches that describe a triangular cross-section. Its frame alternates matt and luminous surfaces, built from extruded aluminium and PMMA in longitudinal prisms that give transparency and comfortable diffusion of light. A dimmer is included.

A luminator reinterpreted

Chiaroscura reinterprets the classic luminator. Alberto Meda and Francesco Meda expand its functionality with a triangular structure: ambient light is diffused to the sides and direct light goes to the ceiling.

Understated, with character

The body is slim and visibly light, and it is simultaneously understated and packed with character thanks to a frame that alternates matt and luminous surfaces. Chiaroscura was selected for the ADI Design Index 2023 in the Lighting Design category.
