Crafted by the renowned design duo Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, Dama is not merely a luminaire; it's an embodiment of elegance, sophistication, and the seamless fusion of classic charm with modern aesthetics.

Capturing Tradition in a Contemporary Glow

Designed as a homage to the classic lamp, the Dama collection redefines simplicity. Ludovica+Roberto Palomba have artfully softened and refined the design, transcending the boundaries of form and material. The result is a collection that exudes a gentle, uniform glow from within, emanating warmth and opulence in every direction.

At the heart of the Dama table lamp lies a circular LED light source, encased in silicon to eliminate glare. This cutting-edge technology positions the LED close to the shade, creating an ethereal ambience that's as pleasing to the eyes as it is functional.

The Dance of Metal and Paper

Dama is not just a lamp; it's a visual symphony. The exposed aluminium structure, defining the edge of the cylindrical shade, becomes a distinctive feature rather than a supporting element. The delicate frame imparts a feeling of weightlessness, allowing the paper diffuser to seemingly float in empty space.

"We decided to dare with an unexpected touch using paper – a noble and tactile material, almost fragile and intangible, which imbues the lamp with warm light," says Palomba. This juxtaposition of the blackness of metal against the softness of paper creates a contemporary masterpiece, a harmony of contrasts.

Lightness Redefined

Dama goes beyond its physical weight; it explores the philosophy of lightness. Transportable, unobtrusive, and emitting soft pools of light, this luminaire is a faithful companion for intimate moments. Crafted from 100% recyclable aluminium, Dama achieves a delicate balance between sustainability and beauty.

The choice of materials was pivotal in creating an object that not only visually but also physically conveys the idea of lightness. The base, characterized by extreme lightness, retains organic elements in its joints, showcasing a sensitivity that goes beyond technical innovation.

An Artful Synthesis

Dama represents more than just an illuminating fixture; it embodies a synthesis between form and function, aesthetics and well-being. The circular LED seamlessly integrates with an internal diffuser, maintaining the traditional "hat" shape of the Abat-Jour lamp. For Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, Dama is a feminine figure, archaic yet romantic, a loyal companion for the intimate moments of everyday life.
