Vetreria Vistosi RIKETTA SP G LED pendant lamp

Riketta is the hanging lamp designed by Oriano Favaretto for Vistosi, a true ‘contemporary sculptural object’.‎ Riketta is reminiscent of an egg, an age-old shape that has earned a prominent place in art history over the centuries as a symbol of perfection.‎ The designer was inspired by the most classic of art forms, giving it a modern connotation through the use of two different and complementary materials: at the base white opaline glass, at the top 2.‎7 mm diameter metal rods welded together to form the iconic egg shape.‎ It is precisely these slightly curved lines, the collection’s distinguishing feature, that inspired the name Riketta.‎ Oriano Favaretto has rethought the classic egg shape by also producing two different shapes, one flatter, one more elongated, to give the possibility of creating different combinations.‎ The lamp, currently only available in the pendant version, can in fact be used individually, in pairs or in groups.‎ By playing with the shapes and heights of the suspensions, it is possible to create a new, surprising light effect each time, thanks to the LED light source (19 kW) that is there, but cannot be seen, because it is hidden in the white glass diffuser.‎ For the future, Vistosi and the designer do not exclude new declinations for Riketta, which could be transformed into a table or floor lamp, thanks to its particular shape, capable of filling space, and its contemporary style, which fits well into different furnishing contexts.‎ Further info from manufacturer on RIKETTA SP G Vetreria Vistosi
