Introduction
A synthesis of technology, innovative design, and creative mind, Amuleto lamp carries with it the auspices of good fortune from Alessandro Mendini to his dear grandson. Made of "Stainedpla" material inspired by stained-glass craft and respectively colored in yellow, red, and blue, Amuleto presents itself as a lamp with a lively and playful appearance. These three elements represent the harmony between the sun, the moon, and the earth, and perform the essential functions of base, articulation, and illuminating crown. Amuleto is an extremely exquisite lamp with no visible wires; its structure features an articulation mechanism that reproduces the human arm movement allowing easy adjustment of the lamp's inclination according to one's needs. The high CRI LED light and the 51 levels of illumination degree symbolize the attention to eye health at the core of the project: the desk lamp is indeed inspired by surgical lighting, therefore the light source of Amuleto is optimized to eye health, it does not emit ultraviolet or infrared light, it is certified flicker-free and does not get hot. “Amuleto” is the Italian word for amulet, indicating a longing for mankind’s happiness and fulfillment of dreams, its glow conveys warmth and serenity, making Amuleto the ideal choice for domestic spaces and a gift with deep symbolic meaning.
Description
The RAMUN amuleto LED lamp is made of three circles. The bottom one is the base, the middle one is the brace and the top one contains the light-crown of LEDs. The shape of the circle is primary and perfect, just as perfect as the number three (trinity). This spatial composition has a mechanism that allows the light to be placed and pointed in any direction. The illuminated disk is like a halo, a magic circle that is not only functional, but highly alluring. The different colors were chosen to imbue this high-tech and perfectly ergonomic object with expressive force, in an attempt to unite imagination, technology and optical precision in poetic unison. When using this lamp in the dark, one has the feeling of being in the company of a playful object that is not merely useful, but like a magic little friend who protects you, similar to a cheerful robot, a good-luck charm.
