FILAMENTO lamp shines a light on the “visual and linear form of energy”

Milan 2018 – Mayice Studio presented FILAMENTO a sculptural lamp made of an undulating glass design more than one meter long which connects two light sources pointing each other. When illuminated, its form and matter disappear; a poetic yarn of light created by the reflections on the glass surfaces creates a laser-like effect.

“Filamento is the result of a study of how light travels through concave and convex forms of glass, creating a visible and linear form of energy that responds to an optical effect.” Explain at Mayice Studio. The design which can be used outdoor and indoor makes visible the way light travels through geometric shapes of glass. “We spent a lot of time researching with different light rays, intensities and glass forms to create the effect of the filament of light”.

Entirely crafted in Spain, Filamento makes use of a special bulb with LED´s technology to enhance the beauty of glass forms. Everything is dimmable and the users can control the intensity of light from a smartphone.

The light which was debuted at Spazio Rossana Orlando in Milan during Milan Design Week was designed as a modular system. Each of the 1.26-metre-long lights can be attached to one another. The studio attached four Filamento pieces together to form a five-metre-long installation in the gallery’s basement.
