Description
Isabelline Designer Elvin den Haan had been exploring lamp designs with conical shades reminiscent of the classic Tolomeo table lamp. Then he hit on the idea of connecting two cones into a double-barreled shade and the result was an hourglass shape that reminded him of the “diabolo” that street performers and children of all ages the world over toss and spin for entertainment and amusement. So was born the Diabolo. For the lamp shade, two white satin-finished composite cones are held together by an anodized aluminium connector within which the fixtures and electrical connections are hidden away. This structure is then connected to two round sticks – another element recalling the diabolo – by pins that allow the shade to swivel to any angle, so one beam of light can be focused on a work surface, while the other provides ambient lighting to the room. The preferred light source is a reflector flood lamp casting indirect light that reflects off the inside surface of the shade. Shade Colour: Black
