luminis chief designer Fernando Prado was so fascinated by the movement of the standing man that he wanted to implement this principle for a lamp. The result is a table lamp that initially causes amazement. When it gets a nudge, it doesn’t fall over but starts to sway back and forth in a steady rhythm. It’s a pleasure to watch and all the more surprising when the lamp ends up standing still and straight as a die. A simple idea, a well-known principle, but a complex challenge to implement for a table lamp.
First and foremost, the lamp has to meet lumini’s usual demand for perfection in design and technology. The Brazilian manufacturer lumini, who produces all its lamps by hand, wanted to create something playful with the Lumini Fool. To achieve this, there was no compromise on the clear design; the playfulness lies solely in the movement.
Weights in the crescent-shaped base ensure that the lamp can shift its centre of gravity and reliably swing back to its original position. The felt shade is very light and at the same time shockproof and robust. It allows a pleasant light diffusion and thanks to a dimmer, the light intensity can be adjusted in three steps. The base and shade are also available in various colour combinations from subtle to strong, so that the spirited lamp cuts a good figure in any environment.
If the movement is too much for you, simply place the lamp on the ring provided and fix it in place. In this way, it can either stand upright or at any inclination, securely and firmly. At the same time, this allows the light to be directed individually. If that doesn’t put you in a good mood.
The Brazilian lamp manufacturer lumini designs and produces lamps and lighting solutions for international architecture and design projects. Founded in 1979, the company has its production site in Sao Paulo and employs around 300 people. lumini stands for a perfect combination of design with the constant development of technically optimal solutions and has received numerous international awards for this.
