Gatto, which means kitten in Italian, the Gatto lamp named after "kitten" is the proud work of the Castiglioni brothers from Italy. The simple-looking Gatto table lamp attracts people with its unique beauty, so let us enjoy the unique charm of the Gatto Piccolo.
THE DESIGN BACKGROUND OF GATTO LAMP
The three Castiglioni brothers were all born in Milan, in the Northern Italian region of Lombardy. The brothers' work encompasses exhibition design, furniture and lighting design, including the Gatto , and architectural design. The design focused on the meaning of the object itself is reflected in the Lampa Gatto Grande, and the Gatto Grande would inherit the design philosophy of the Castiglioni brothers.
WHITE COLOR OF GATTO PICCOLO
Naturally, the Gatto Piccolo table lamp appears white at first glance, but the white of the Gatto Piccolo is not as bright and dazzling; one could say that the white of the Gatto lamp is very soft, and the white of the Gatto lamp cocoon makes people feel very comfortable. White occurs frequently in nature and in real life, such as snow, clouds, milk, polar bears, etc. That is why the Gatto lamp is presented in white; it gives you a kind of intimacy. Unlike black objects, white objects can reflect and scatter visible light. In other words, a white Gatto lamp will not be too dull compared to its surroundings, and an unlit Gatto lamp can also become an elegant decoration.
UNIQUE APPEARANCE OF THE GATTO GRANDE
The appearance of the Gatto looks very simple—the head and tail are large and the center is small, a bit like a hot air balloon—but the external design of the Gatto table lamp is not random. Just like the designer's original idea for creating this Gatto lamp, the Gatto lamp is the embodiment of modernism. Or perhaps influenced by his father, who is a sculptor, the designer, in creating the Gatto light, has perfectly integrated the flowing lines and three-dimensional feel of sculpture into the Gatto lamp, which possesses a classic charm.
DIFFERENT SIZES GATTO LAMP
The Gatto lamp is available in two sizes: a small Gatto with a height of 31 cm and a large Gatto lamp with a height of 58 cm. Two Gatto lamps of different sizes can be used individually or in pairs. If you use Gatto lamps in a group, you can try placing a large and a small Gatto table lamp together so that the juxtaposed Gatto lamps appear to have a sense of power, like guardianship over siblings or partners.
* Gatto Mini - Dia21cm x H31cm
The small gatto lampa cocoon generally looks smaller and cute. Due to its relatively small size, this size lampada gatto can be placed on a small desk, bedside table, and other places where relatively concentrated or small-scale lighting is needed.
* Gatto Lampa - - Dia38.5 cm x H58 cm
The height of the large gatto lampada is almost twice as high as the small gatto lampa, giving a more upright feel and allowing it to be used in larger spaces; for instance, the large gatto can be placed in a TV cabinet in the living room, on a coffee table in the living room, etc.
GATTO TABLE LAMP MADE OF SPECIAL MATERIAL
The appearance of the Gatto table lamp looks simple, but in fact, the manufacturing material reveals the high-quality feel of the Gatto lamp. The lampshade of the Gatto lamp is made of precious mulberry silk, while the interior of the Gatto table lamp copy is supported by metal. Soft silk and hard metal—the difference between the two different textures is so great, yet they are cleverly combined in the Gatto lamp.
The metal used as the inner support makes the gatto lampa strong and stable; the silk used as the fabric of the lampshade ensures that the surface of the gatto lamp is comfortable to the touch and has good light transmittance, while at the same time softly diffusing the light from the gatto's internal light source without causing glare.
THE HOLY MISSION OF THE GATTO LAMP
As Achille, one of Castiglioni's designers, said: "A good project must be designed not driven by ambition, even if it concerns a small desire: to communicate with the user." The Gatto lampa was designed, and it came to fruition according to the designer's good wishes. At the same time, the designer hoped that works such as the Gatto lampa cocoon would have their own distinctive characteristics, allowing users to communicate with the designer in time and space through the Gatto table lamp.
