The Filomena Wall Lamp makes interesting use of the light's cord. While most people would try to hide their cords to create a cleaner look, those who own one of these light fixtures will be doing something all together different. Essentially, the cord takes on the silhouette of a traditional lamp. Three to be exact: table, task and abat-jour lamps.
Designed by nadlab, an Italian design firm founded by two friends craftsman decorator Lapo De Vita and industrial designer Claudio Mochi, the Filomena Wall Lamp is modern, funky and playful. Perfect for various settings including the office, bedroom and living area, the Filomena Wall Lamp is mounted on a thin sheet of CNC-milled PMMA (polymethacrylate) frame. The cords can be swapped out as they are sold separately and come in various colors.
