Lampada da Tavolo Pigreco

The sphere's dual construction, one half frosted and one half clear, produces two distinct lighting effects depending on its orientation. The frosted side diffuses light softly throughout a room, while the clear side acts as a convex lens, projecting and bending light into geometric patterns on surrounding surfaces.

Yes. The crystal sphere is designed to be rotated freely at any time, allowing the user to shift between ambient diffusion and directional projection without any tools or adjustment to the base.

Davide Groppi approaches light as a primary material rather than a byproduct of fixture design. His Piacenza-based studio is known for works of radical simplicity, where the source of light is often hidden and the luminous effect itself becomes the object.

The Pigreco is constructed from a crystal glass sphere and a concrete base. The pairing of optical glass with raw concrete is a deliberate material contrast central to the lamp's design identity.

The Pigreco is primarily an atmospheric lamp. Its variable light output makes it well suited to residential living spaces, hospitality settings, and surfaces where mood and ambiance take precedence over task lighting.
