iGuzzini NITIA LED table lamp

Nitia is a small table lamp in plastic and steel with reflected light.‎ The design plays with statics and the unexpected formal composition of overlapping volumes.‎ Throughout his career as a designer, Bonetto essentially focused on the search to translate industrial shapes and materials into commonly used objects.‎ Nitia is the result of his passion for cars and engines.‎ The first sketches highlight the combination of pure geometric aspects - the cylinder and the sphere - which the designer then transformed with a final cut to create an adjustable optical compartment.‎ The three holes in the optical body were inspired by the automotive industry.‎ They prevent the lamp from overheating - a trick also used in the cars of the time.‎ design Rodolfo Bonetto, 1971 | re-edition 2023 Further info from manufacturer on NITIA iGuzzini
