Contardi – Hat
(Italy) – Hat collection is the new lampshade archetype born from the collaboration of Italian lighting brand Contardi and designer Paola Navone of Otto Studio.
The lampshade is described as the perfect balance between past and present, drawing inspiration from the 1950s aesthetics and blending it with contemporary design. It comprises a floor, table, and pendant lamps, which are all unified by a white cotton or Tyvek lampshade. Each piece is accented with rope detailing, either wrapped around the metal stand of the table or the floor lamp or used as a suspension for the pendant version.
Dominico Diego of Otto Studio says: “We desired to create a versatile object that could fit harmoniously into context without losing its character. We wanted to design something that was both ordinary and extraordinary, combining simplicity and sophistication, with a playful touch.”
The option for customisation is available, allowing the collection to be adapted to multiple environments, from residential to hospitality.
