Plena

Plena takes its name from the full moon, the form of a light that makes people fall in love. Large in size but light and dynamic, Plena provides dual lighting: reflected on the surface below it, and spreading towards the ceiling. An intriguing light, of special charm, to completely permeate a room while remaining soft and enveloping.

Placed over a table, Plena never emits the slightest glare. Two elements balance each other, performing a design gesture with an almost poetic intent: the lunar disk becomes a plume, thanks to the arched line that conveys a sensation of lightness and flight. The fabric is magical: it embodies the form like a solid, yet requires no reinforcement, no muscle, for its perfectly natural gesture. Like a sail in the moment it is filled by the wind.

Plena is a cradle that contains a light source, though the latter, like any true essence, is invisible to the eyes. A synthesis of form and function, performance and poetry, Plena is perfect for both domestic and commercial spaces. Its image changes, depending on the vantage point: it is a lamp that thrives on solitude, above a table, but also on repetition in vast areas like halls or large shopping areas.
