Magellano Lamp

Magellano Lamp

Magellano Lamp is an innovative telescopic pendant lighting fixture that revolutionizes traditional lighting design through its dynamic adjustable form, earning recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category. Designed by Italian architect Aldo Deli, this sophisticated lighting solution embodies the concept of a telescope, featuring three concentric cylinders crafted from iron-aluminum alloy that slide within one another to modify both the fixture's length and light projection characteristics. The lamp's ingenious construction allows for three primary configurations: a maximum extension of 80 centimeters with an 85-centimeter table clearance, a medium extension of 66 centimeters with 100-centimeter clearance, and a minimum extension of 47 centimeters providing 120-centimeter clearance. The design incorporates cadmium magnets and a plastic membrane within its internal cavity to ensure smooth sliding action while maintaining position stability. Operating at 220-240 volts with a 5-watt LED source producing approximately 500 lumens at 3500K and a Color Rendering Index of 80, the lamp delivers exceptional illumination quality. Its diameter progressively increases from 4 centimeters at the upper cylinder to 6 centimeters at the base, creating an elegant visual proportion. The innovative aspect of this design lies in its ability to transform from diffused to focused lighting through its telescopic movement, offering users unprecedented control over their lighting environment. This interactive functionality, combined with its minimalist aesthetic and technical sophistication, represents a significant advancement in contemporary lighting design, demonstrating how simple mechanical principles can be adapted to create highly functional and aesthetically pleasing solutions for modern interior environments.
