Esteemed for his researched and controlled approach to materials, italian architect, sculptor and designer angelo mangiarotti created the almost gravity-defying aida lamp with its visual disconnect between the base and shade and a pleasing ambient light. Referencing principles of his hailed architecture, where slim, elegant pillars support large and heavy ceilings in an almost impossible lift, mangiarotti conceived aida’s beautifully poised silhouette.

He wanted each individual material to be respected and to be used in an appropriate and honest way.
