Milan, Italy
In June 1974 in Paris, the lampshade was designed by Man Ray directly on a sheet of flat cardboard; and, together with other sketches of the base, a few days later it became the lamp called “La lune sous le chapeau.”
The light is an “objet trouvé” as it re-evaluates basic. materials, low technology, formal simplicity.
Now, the Italian brand Warli under the art direction of Paolo Zani has recreated the La Lune Sous Le Chapeau table lamp by American visual artist Man Ray and introduced new colors.
An apparently anonymous, anti-design lamp, provocative with a strong poetic content: the simplest lampshade supported by the most elementary of bases.
Zani’s new model faithfully reproduces, even in the spirit, the original design.
The lamp is a powder-coated metal structure with lampshade in PVC with parchment texture or fabric-lined, anti-slip serigraphy printed on the base.
