Titania

Designers
Meda, Alberto

Rizzatto, Paolo | 1989The elliptical structure of its outer casing, composed of blades, serves simultaneously as a non-dazzle screen, a reflector of the central light source and a heat dissipater.



Five pairs of polycarbonate interchangeable filters determine the varying colours of its lamellar body. In fact Titania can be coloured as desired, by a simple movement of the hand to slot the different filters in and out and to give the lamp a “dematerialised”ќ colour - while always maintaining an emission of white light!A touch of the fingers is enough to send it into a variety of suspended positions and, depending on which angle it is seen from, it assumes completely different appearances: transparent if seen from the front, and as a solid body if seen from the side. The spherical counterweight, allowing its up-down adjustment, can be inserted or removed at any time. Titania is a dynamic and surprising lamp, suitable for a wide variety of settings. Thanks to its very light aluminium body, it can be hung from plaster, wood or sloping ceilings. The versatility of its components enables it to be attached to any part of the ceiling with no need for an already installed mains plug.
