Story

From the bedside lamp to an icon

Lumiere reinterprets the classic bedside lamp in a contemporary key. Rodolfo Dordoni designed it in 1990, and the table lamp has become an icon of design.

Glass and tripod

Its character comes from the blown glass diffuser combined with an unmistakable aluminium tripod. When the lamp is switched on, the glass glows with light and warmth.
