BIG SHADOW LIGHTING

BIG SHADOW LIGHTING

Designed by Marcel Wanders

Designed by Marcel Wanders, the Big Shadow lamp is a free-standing diffused lighting fixture, available in different sizes and heights. One of designer’s first projects, Big Shadow is an accurate reflection of his vision: a combination of materials and innovative techniques with traditional styles and archetypes.

The inspiration for these lamps can be found in abat-jour table lamps, revisited here in a contemporary key with the fabric covering not just the upper part of the lamp, but also the base, to create a warm and cosy light source. Big Shadow has a structure made of chrome varnished metal bar with a cover in white polyamide and viscose
