Description
Overview
Madre is a table lamp with diffused light by Andrea Anastasio, designed in 2019. Its shape alludes to the wide hips of fertility goddesses. The opening that interrupts the large luminous body creates a magical vision at the centre and a unique light.
Construction
The lamp body is hand-blown glass that is subsequently etched. The central opening is cut with a thin jet of high-pressure water, which gives precision without causing thermal alterations to the glass. The upper hollow is opaline borosilicate glass, where decorative dry branches can be placed. A multichip LED board is protected by an opaline polycarbonate disk, and the light grey electrical cable carries a dimmer.
