CicloItalia Wall Lamp
Made by Catellani & Smith
Designed by Enzo Catellani
The CicloItalia Flex W1 arrives as a wall-mounted reinterpretation of Enzo Catellani's celebrated CicloItalia collection, a family of lamps that draws its imagery from the aerodynamic clarity of mid-century racing. Where the original spoke in rounded, warm forms, this version sharpens the dialogue, introducing an elongated spotlight in black or white varnished metal against the irreducible warmth of brass.
The flexible brass arm is the defining gesture: adjustable in dimension from 30 to 50 cm, it allows the lamp to be positioned with the kind of specificity that architects and designers require. A glass lens focuses the output into directional light, precise without being cold.
