Story
One mixture, two roles
Tite 1 was designed by Marc Sadler in 2000 around an innovative mixture of fibreglass and black carbon thread. The combination is a genius one: the material is the graphic decoration and the functional frame at once.
An elongated shape
The lamp has an elongated form, hung from a transparent cable, and its fibreglass fabric and carbon thread are paired with nickel-plated steel. It won the ADI Compasso d'Oro award.
