The unlikeliest sources of inspiration often result in thebest art. S. Philippson Pallucco’s latest lighting collection, Crinolina Pallucco,ascribes the Victorian-era hoopskirt as its muse. Featuring lampshades thatresemble the wire scaffolding of the then highly-fashionable garment, thecollection is a play on ‘now you see it, now you don’t’ with its equal partscut-out and filled in sections. The lamp appears asymmetrical regardless offrom which angle it is viewed, and the shade seamlessly encircles thesconce-shaped diffuser inside, allowing a warm, inviting light – rendered byits PVC gold and cotton chintz coating – to freely exude. Made of epoxypowder-coated steel, the shades are available in three striking hues:antachrite grey, white and purple. The floor and pendant versions come in“Grande” and “Super Grande”, featuring 680mm and 900mm diffusers respectively.The pendant Crinolina Pallucco is also available in “Mini” with a diffuserdiameter of just 290mm and imbues a soft illumination that makes it just rightfor the bedroom. Equally charming is the wall-mounted version that yields a mellowup-light, or the table version. All versions of the Crinolina Pallucco lightingcollection utilize low-consuming bulbs. Now that your path is lit, it’s time tomake your own fashion statement.
