Adamas Floor Lamp

Adamas Floor Lamp is an innovative lighting fixture that harmoniously merges Italian design tradition with Japanese origami artistry, created by Italian architect Francesca Schiavello. This sophisticated floor lamp, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category, exemplifies a masterful fusion of contrasting materials and geometric precision. The design features a meticulously handcrafted paper lampshade, created through traditional origami techniques, which provides warm, diffused illumination while celebrating the delicate nature of paper as a medium. The lamp's structural integrity is achieved through a thoughtfully engineered iron framework, characterized by its slender triangular composition that emphasizes visual lightness while ensuring stability. A distinctive brass cone serves as both a functional lamp holder and an elegant transitional element between the metal base and paper shade. The lamp's dimensions of 36 x 25 x 146.5 centimeters reflect careful consideration of proportional harmony, while its material selection demonstrates a deliberate contrast between the durability of metal and the ethereal quality of paper. The design process, spanning from 2018 to 2020, involved extensive material research and prototyping to achieve the perfect balance between form and function. The lamp's unique properties include its dual materiality, FSC-certified parchment paper construction, and compatibility with LED E27 bulbs, emphasizing both environmental consciousness and contemporary lighting requirements. This floor lamp represents a significant achievement in lighting design, where structural engineering meets artistic expression, creating an elegant solution that contributes to both functional illumination and aesthetic enhancement of interior spaces.
