filippo mambretti sculpts optical lighting pieces for MOGG

furniture designer filippo mambretti unveils the INFINITA lighting collection for italian brand MOGG. the product is a hanging lamp, which is designed in three different diameters to allow for a multitude of combinations and compositions. ‘INFINITA comes from the desire to create an intriguing game of refractions and reflections,’ expresses mambretti. 

INFINITA lamp designed by filippo mambretti for MOGG

shaped like a tube light, filippo mambretti‘s INFINITA lamp for MOGG combines two reflective surfaces which, besides being used as a mirror, allow the light bulb to blend with the interiors and thus hiding it. the special glass used to get the reflective surfaces, once the lamp is lit, creates a unique optical effect– giving the metallic block plan an unexpected perspective and spatial depth. the outcome is a bright infinity that runs through the inside of the luminaire. thanks to the placement of LED strips inside the light fixture, a discrete and poetic lighting is diffused within the home environment. 

the collection is made of three hanging lamps of different diameters 

once flipped, the hanging piece reveals a tube light 

at night, the rooms shifts into a more poetic ambience
