In 2013, Ernesto Gismondi designed Ilio, a floor lamp stripped
to the bare essentials, where the geometrical synthesis is
combined with saturated colours and expresses a productive
and functional intelligence.
10 years on and it is still a highly contemporary solution,
which has been optimised with up-to-date technology to
deliver the best performance, always.
Ernesto Gismondi’s sketches inspire the idea to develop a
complete family of lamps. The profile of Ilio is cut at two
different heights to generate two versions: ceiling and
suspension. It simple yet striking shape accommodates an
optical intelligence to offer superior efficiency while limiting
direct glare. This makes the new Ilio lamps an even more
versatile solution, perfect for any setting, including the
workplace.
In the wall lamp version, the section is slanted to allow the
cylindrical body to protrude and open up the light onto the
surrounding space.
