LOOS lamp by Luca Nichetto

Italian designer Luca Nichetto, presents at Salone del Mobile 2013 his latest creation for Zero Lighting (Fiera Milano, Hall 15 Stand 33), the LOOS lamp. Three felt layers with different patterns bring this fixture to life and give it the ability to change form. A warmly elegant one, as pendant, floor and table versions, inspired by Scottish tartans, and modernist facades with many windows. Each one allows a personal touch by adjusting the various layers of the shade. The interplay between new light patterns and shadows adds to LOOS’ unique character.

Furthermore at Foro Buonaparte 48 will take place (9th–14th April 2013) the exhibition Nichetto=Nendo. It is the result of the collaboration between Luca Nichetto and Oki Sato (founder of Nendo) which started when the two men met in Stockholm and during their discussion about design and collaboration between designers of the past such as Ettore Sottsass with Shiro Kuramata they told that now was their time, but that they should make products together to highlight their mutual respect and the affinity between their work, rather than showing existing work together.. and seven new products took their way to "production".

Casamania/ Discipline/ Foscarini/ Glas Italia/ Glip/ Grafiche Antiga/ Innofa/ Kadowaki Coating/ Ochiai-Seisakusho/ Ogeborg/ Oikos/ Taniguchi Aoya Washi/ Testi Fratelli/ Vertigo Metals.
