Description
Overview
Magneto is a table lamp with direct light by Giulio Iacchetti for Foscarini. A magnet joins the supporting rod to the LED illuminating body, so the light can be directed at will, like a torch.
Construction
Batch-dyed ABS forms the diffuser, with a built-in LED. Epoxy powder coated steel makes the base and the swivel rod. The "super magnet" is spherical, and it is the joint between rod and head: the head slides vertically along the rod. The black cable and its ON/OFF switch are visible along the inside of the rod.

Story
A magnet as the fulcrum
The project turns on a spherical magnet that joins two simple parts: a support rod and a compact light source. It allows extreme versatility of regulation and of movement along the stem.
Elemental and bold
The table lamp has an elemental and bold look. Flexible use is combined with absolute functional rigor, and the invisible force of the magnet leaves the head free to be pointed wherever the light is wanted.
