Bohemian and colourful, the Filo lamp is a joyful explosion of colours, materials and styles. Influenced by India, where he lived for a long time, Italian artist Andrea Anastasio has created a polymorph, original and poetic lamp. Its long cable in twisted fabric, decorated in sparkling coloured beads, resembles an Indian long necklace. A creative fusion of two worlds, criss-crossing Eastern and Western influences and combining artisan and industrial work. With Filo, Andrea Anastasio has created a fun deconstruction of the lamp archetype. It is the opposite to traditional lights that seek to hide the technical behind decorations. Here, all the parts of the lamp are bare, in a deconstruction and simplification approach. The electrical cable, the light source and decorative elements are combined in a rhythmic game where roles are exchanged. The cable becomes the main esthetic player on the lamp. Unusually long, it is wound several times around a pure metal structure. Like a bead necklace, this sparkly fabric cable is decorated with precious Murano glass and porcelain beads. These beads are entirely handcrafted in Italy. The cable finishes with an elegant conical lampshade in white porcelain, like a delicate pendant. The Filo floor lamp is available in a range of different models: each model is a different colour and shape and the beads are made from different materials. The rich pallet of colours lends the lamp many identities, from ethnic to urban…
