“Solco,“ wall or ceiling lamp. Design: Bastien Taillard.

For the “Jupiter“ and “Venus“ lamps, the stone is super-thin and translucent

Radar Interior, the Italian-French design brand, sent the following press release about the new catalog:

„The company uses Carrara marble to create pure, sculptural shapes, where the material is always in the limelight.

“Solco,“  wall or ceiling lamp (left), coffee table (right). Design: Bastien Taillard. Engraved Carrara marble, matte finish. Lamp: Depth: 15 cm without bulb. Diameter: 60 cm. Matte black metal structure, matte white thermo lacquered front ring, available in matt black ring. Coffee table: Matte black metal structure. Height: 43 cm. Diameter: 60 cm. Available with additional 25 cm top.

Marble is used in a contemporary way in the “Solco“ line, which includes a wall lamp and a coffee table. In this case, the stone material is engraved with a CNC machine working on a hand-drawn design by Radar Interior‘s designers. The decorative pattern evokes a feeling of movement that imbues the surface with a dynamic look as if to express the encounter between a natural material and the human hand.

“Jupiter,“ ceiling/pendant lamp. Design: Bastien Taillard.Left: “Venus,“ ceiling/pendant lamp. Right: “Jupiter,“ ceiling/pendant lamp. Design: Bastien Taillard. Gray and white CARRARA marble with random veins, matte or glossy finish. Matte black metal structure, matte white thermo lacquered front ring, available in matt black ring. Depth: 10 cm without bulb. Diameter: 60 cm.

In the “Jupiter“ and “Venus“ ceiling or wall lamps, the unrepeatable beauty of the stone is backlit to enhance its veins. The discs that make up the diffuser of the new lamps have a 60 cm diameter and are so thin (from 0.7 to 1.00 cm) that the light shines through.
