Bianca LED Table Lamp

The Bianca LED Table Lamp was developed by Matti Klenell for the manufacturer Fontana Arte.

In business for over 80 years, this company has changed confidently with the times, pioneering an artisanal, craft-based approach in the 1930s and industrial methods in the 1950s. Its has also branched out into holistic design concepts for hotels, restaurants and universities in more recent years. Swedish designer Matti Klenell is a specialist in glass, creating both art objects and functional pieces. He is a winner of Red Dot and Ljunggren Design awards.

Like much Scandinavian design, the Bianca LED Table Lamp from Fontana Arte disguises impressive craftsmanship beneath a deceptively simple appearance. The diffuser is made from cased glass using traditional glassblowing techniques, with an opaque outer layer wrapped around a clear inner centre. The outer layer is acid etched with a subtle dotted pattern inspired by footprints in snow, and an elegantly plain and unadorned painted metal base completes the piece. Measuring 50cm in height and with a diameter of 30cm, the Bianca LED Table Lamp gives out a soft, warm, restful light which adds to its charm, making it a great choice for lounges and bedrooms.
