It is an example of essential and innovative design, reflecting the refined and functional approach of the designer duo. The lamp is characterised by a curved glass diffuser reminiscent of the wings of a butterfly, hence the name Papillona, a term that recalls the butterfly. The moulded translucent glass diffuser is mounted on a simple, linear metal base, which gives the lamp a light, sculptural appearance. The light emitted is soft and diffuse, ideal for creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Papillona is an iconic piece that, thanks to the quality of its materials and formal simplicity, retains a timeless aesthetic that fits easily into modern or classic interiors.
