The ILO lamp by Arieto Studio is designed as a hybrid lighting object that separates into two parts: a fixed base and a detachable illuminated ring. The circular light element rests on the base to function as a sculptural table lamp, then lifts off to become a cordless, portable light that can move between rooms or outdoors. Charging happens automatically through induction when the ring is returned to its base, removing the need for cables or manual input.
The design focuses on soft, ambient illumination, with the ring emitting an even, diffused glow that avoids harsh shadows or directional beams. Its form balances function and object quality, pairing a glossy halo with a weighted base available in multiple colors to suit different interiors. The lamp is intended to follow daily movement patterns.
