La Petite Terra Floor Lamp

The La Petite Floor Lamp was created by Andrea Quaglio and Manuela Simonelli for the Artemide label. With its ultra-thin lines and quirky angles, this appealing floor lamp will fit right into modern interiors, from living rooms to offices.

Working under the name Quaglio Simonelli, the pair behind this lamp have established a reputation as two of Italy's most skillful contemporary product designers. Their approach is simple: observing everyday items and finding ways to inject something new, fresh and unexpected while retaining their essential function.

The La Petite Floor Lamp exemplifies this fruitful approach. Here, Quaglio and Simonelli have taken standard floor lamps and stripped away unnecessary elements while playing around with conventional angles to create a unique look. Instead of shade being placed at the end of the lamp, it has been shifted slightly down the spine, adding a touch of humour and creativity. Each La Petite Floor Lamp is 160cm tall, so they will be ideal for placing next to armchairs or sofas. And they are just 30cm across at the widest point, making it easy to slip them into awkward corners - a great indoor lighting solution.
