Story
The emerald lamp as a reference
Cilari takes its inspiration from the famous emerald lamp, a reading lamp dating from 1849. Known as the banker's or library lamp, it was considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
Lighting that does not impose
Rather than imposing itself on its surroundings, Cilari is a serene piece of lighting that contributes to the general atmosphere in a balanced composition. The cylindrical diffuser is what distinguishes it.
