Grande Ombra
Made by Cappellini
Designed by Marcel Wanders
Progettata da Marcel Wanders, la lampada Big Shadow offre una luce diffusa, sorprendente e autoportante, disponibile in varie dimensioni e altezze. Uno dei primi capolavori di Wanders, questa lampada fonde influenze di design tradizionale con materiali e tecniche moderne, creando una rivisitazione unica della classica lampada da tavolo abat-jour. Il rivestimento in tessuto si estende dalla parte superiore alla base, avvolgendo l'intera struttura in una luce morbida per un'atmosfera calda e accogliente. La sua struttura in metallo cromato e l'esterno rivestito in poliammide e viscosa portano eleganza e comfort a qualsiasi spazio.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials is the Big Shadow lamp made from?
The shade is constructed from a polyamide and viscose blend, selected for its translucency and soft surface quality. The internal structure is a chrome-varnished metal frame that gives the lamp its form while remaining concealed beneath the fabric exterior.
Is the Big Shadow a table lamp or a floor lamp?
The Big Shadow is produced in both table and floor lamp versions by Cappellini. The table version is the original and most widely recognized form, though the floor lamp shares the same design principle of a full-length fabric covering from crown to base.
Who designed the Big Shadow lamp, and when?
Marcel Wanders designed the Big Shadow for Cappellini in 1997. It was among his first major statements as a designer and helped establish his reputation for objects that balance poetic sensibility with precise material thinking.
How does the Big Shadow lamp diffuse light?
Because the fabric covering wraps the entire body of the lamp rather than just a traditional shade, light radiates through the full surface of the object. This creates a soft, ambient glow rather than a focused point of illumination.
Is the Big Shadow considered a design classic?
Yes. The Big Shadow is widely regarded as a landmark piece in late-1990s Italian design. It appears in museum collections and design histories as an example of how Wanders approached everyday objects with an almost narrative quality.
