Oluce Eva Table Lamp

Design Francesca Borelli

Francesca Borelli, born in 1993 in Rome, where she also completed her education, has designed a product for Oluce that originates and builds on the intimate contact between light, form and movement. Eva is a metal table lamp that explores contradictions, hollow and solid, light and dark, and brings them from theory to practice.

The interaction between man and object takes on a fundamental meaning and adds a playful and always surprising element to the light. The body of the object is a ball containing the LED light source; it is open at one end and stands on a slender cylindrical base. The inside of the ball is hidden by a surface that completes it almost perfectly, closing it like a sphere that reassembles itself, except for a circle, a luminous spiral of light that recalls the phenomenon of a solar eclipse.

As this circular surface moves toward the inside or outside of the ball, it transmits varying amounts of light, creating intimate, lavish atmospheres and revealing glimpses of the fine gold leaf walls inside the Eva lamp with varying degrees of brightness. The design is available in a black version with gold interior, timeless colors that recall the moon and the astronomical phenomena that hide it.
