Story
A lamp for an exhibition
Álvaro Siza designed Lorosae for his solo exhibition at the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza. The lamp dates from 1999 and, with its pure and elegant forms, has reached the status of an icon.
Glass and the colour of light
Translucent glass gives the pendant its pure and brilliant finishes, while the white inner part of the diffuser lets the colour of the light stay natural.
