Light games, a touch of magic and the enchanted atmospheres of Swedish nights: these are the characteristics of the new “Shadow lights” lamps designed for Porro by Scandinavian design team Front, on display starting from 22 October in Porro’s showroom at Via Durini 15, Milan.
Available in a floor variation with a slim chrome stem and a pendant version, ideal as a light above a dining or meeting tables, they have a neat, minimal design when turned off, in tune with the furnishing brand that has made elegant formal simplicity its business card.
Thanks, however, to their particular “double skin” lampshade, an external white diffuser that conceals a chromed semi-dome inside studded with holes of various diameters, for a system of shadows and multiple reflections, once turned on they are covered in dots, projecting throughout the room a fun and charming dotted motif, a cascade of little bubbles to make the air more sparkling.

Related to the theme, so dear to designers, of the interaction between two-dimensional decoration and object, this project strengthens the partnership between the Front group and Porro after the debut last April of the Black and White Collection, a small series of black and white furnishings, of which these lamps are the continuation.
